Video Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using a web connection. The rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to get the highest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be "given out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the gambler has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding 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 begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced players are agile enough to select the most money-making machine each time.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their profits, in which instance a further round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
