The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the enthusiast has selected which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to select the most profitable ones each time.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that might have been won. Further, some styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
