The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their wins, in which case another game is played.
