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

It goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to pick the most beneficial machine every time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation another game is played.
