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

It should be known that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning gamblers are able to choose the most money-making machine every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
