The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to select the most money-making game each and every time.

After the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance another game is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
