Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their profits, in which situation a further game is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
