The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

It should be known that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable gamblers are able to select the most money-making machine each and every instance.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Further, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
