The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from game to game, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to choose the most profitable game each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt 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 gambler an opportunity to double their profits, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
