The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable bettors are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine every instance.
As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
