The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to choose the most beneficial game each time.

After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the player an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
