The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their wins, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
