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

Additionally, a few versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their winnings, in which case another hand is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
