For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the player has selected which cards he would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to select the most beneficial ones each and every instance.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that have been won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
