The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning gamblers are agile enough to choose the most profitable game each and every instance.
As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to increase their wins, in which case another round is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
