The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to pick the most profitable ones each instance.
Once the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the bettor a chance to double their winnings, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
