Later, between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, a new type of video poker machine was introduced, machines that use a ”serial dealing” method. The reason for it was the fact that the card a player needs to get a complete winning hand may turn out to be behind a card they kept, thus, they will not receive that card. Only when the player decides not to keep a card, the replacement card will be shown.Īt the time these machines were made available to the public, there were people, who spoke against parallel dealing. Every replacement card is linked to one of the cards in the original hand, while also being lined up behind it.
What is specific about the latter is that the machine simultaneously selects the five cards comprising the hand and the five replacement cards for the draw. Those machines, which were manufactured before the mid-1980s, use a ”parallel method of dealing”. However, different machines generate replacements for the cards a player wishes to remove in a different manner. The first five cards are dealt in the above-mentioned manner by all video poker machines. Now the player has received a hand, which to begin the game with. Whenever a player deposits coins or pushes the ”Bet One Credit” or ”Bet Max” buttons, the video poker machine's microprocessor collects five random numbers in a period as short as 1/1000 of a second, after which it ”translates” them into card images.
If we take the Jacks or Better video poker game, each of the 52 cards included in the deck has a corresponding number (between 1 and 52). This is why we need to clarify, that, in fact, it generates a combination of numbers within a predetermined range on a constant basis. People with insufficient knowledge tend to believe that the RNG shuffles virtual cards.
