Basic Live Poker Game Play
When playing live poker, more than one player is needed. Although playing poker digitally, only one player can play. Players sit in a circle and start placing their bets where everyone adds the same amount to the pot.
The dealer shuffles the cards up real well and then deals each player five cards. One player bets on their cards, and everyone must either stay in the game by adding money to the pot or fold.
Each player then takes their turn by discarding the cards they don't want, and the dealer replaces them with new cards. Another bet is placed, and everyone shows their cards, and the best hand wins.
How to Play Digital Poker
Digital poker is usually played on a specific poker machine or a computer. The player starts by choosing a denominator, usually between nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars. Next, players will place their bet.
Most machines have a betting limit of up to 10 coins per hand. Hitting the max bet button will bet the max limit or hit the bet one button to bet one or more coins at a time.
The player then hits deal, then holds what they want to keep, and then hits draw. Winning hands will then be paid instantly.
Winning Hands in Poker
Winning hands in poker are like a ladder where each step beats the hand below it. If nobody has anything, then the highest card wins and at the top of the ladder is the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime (for some) Royal flush, which is a straight-up to the ace all in the same suit. Here are the winning hands:
- Royal flush
- Straight flush- five cards in sequence, in the same suit
- Four of a kind
- Full house- Three of a kind and a pair
- Flush- five cards in the same suit
- Straight- five cards in sequence, any suit
- Three of a kind
- Two pair
- Pair
- High Card
Digital Poker Payouts
When playing digital poker, payouts for all machines are the same- give or take a few coins, except for bonus games, which usually pay more for certain hands, such as four aces, two's, three's, or four's. Here is what basic payouts may look like:
- Royal flush = 250
- Straight flush- five cards in sequence, in the same suit = 50
- Four of a kind = 25
- Full house- Three of a kind and a pair = 9
- Flush- five cards in the same suit = 6
- Straight- five cards in sequence, any suit = 4
- Three of a kind = 3
- Two pair = 2
- Pair of Jacks or better = 1
