After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are given out if desired. 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 should be known that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making machine each instance.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
