Video poker had been famous since decades ago

They are primitive versions of online poker games. Most of these games used to be based on five card stud kind of draw poker. There is not truly any difference between the rules of how these games should be played as they are not any different from the normal rules that apply to games played in tables.

Video poker games are visualized like a computer monitor or a television screen. These machines can be broadly classified in to 3 types; however, they all look similar. The 24 x 48 inches model of video poker is the oldest one and players sit at a chair in front of the monitor to play in this model. A bit advanced model would be one that has a slanted top of the monitor where you can look in to the machine downwards with resting your elbows on the monitor. The third model is called the bar top model where the monitor is built on the top of the bar.

All of the video poker machines have a slot that is handy where one can insert the coins or bar-coded tokens. The pattern of payment for the video poker games might be printed on the sides of the machine or it will be displayed on the sides of the screen. There will be many colorful buttons arranged below the monitor with which you can make your moves in the screen.

Some basic buttons that you need to understand before playing any video poker machine would be like cash out button, when you press this button you can quit the game. Deal or Draw, when you press this button the machine displays a random deal of cards. If your money is over and you still want to play, you need to insert another coin and press the button again to have the cards dealt again for the next round. And many buttons like Hold or Discard which is all necessary to make the replacement dealings in to effect.

Video poker works based on command prompts, you need to press the correct buttons to enable the program to make the next move that is required to play. Until you set the command for the video poker machine to work, it does not process any further after acting on a previous command.

With advanced computer usage most people are equipped with the basics of how a video poker machine should be handled. In fact the usage of such machines has become a second behavior.
