After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

It should be known that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that discerning players are able to select the most beneficial machine each and every time.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
