Video Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, through a web account. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the highest mixture of cards possible in order to win money. In this respect it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be dealt if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to select the most profitable game every instance.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their profits, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
