The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are able to pick the most beneficial machine each instance.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Additionally, several versions of the game give the bettor a chance to double their winnings, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
