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

It goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful bettors are agile enough to choose the most beneficial ones each and every instance.

Once the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to double their wins, in which case a further game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
