For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand.

It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are able to choose the most profitable game every instance.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
