The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards he would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to select the most profitable game each time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to increase their wins, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
