Video Poker rules begin with its game play, and the game play begins by placing a bet of one or more credits, inserting money (or a barcoded paper ticket in modern machines) into the machine.  The player then has to press the "Deal" button to draw cards. Following this, the player is given the opportunity to keep or discard one or more of the cards in exchange for a new card from the same video-deck. After the draw, the machine ranks the hand and offers a payout if it proves out to be a winning hand.

On typical Video Poker rules, payouts start with a minimum hand of a pair of Jacks or better. It is a custom that Video Poker machines offer progressive jackpots for hitting a royal flush, thereby inciting players to play more coins and also to play more frequently.
