After the enthusiast has selected which cards she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Further, several versions of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
