How to Play Video Poker

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.

The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 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 game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to select the most profitable ones each and every instance.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
