After the bettor has selected which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be given out. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Generally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are able to choose the most money-making game each instance.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
