The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to choose the most profitable game each instance.
Once the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, some styles of the game give the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
