After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be dealt. The round 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.

A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that skillful players are able to choose the most profitable machine each time.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Further, several styles of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their wins, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
