For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has selected which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are agile enough to choose the most profitable machine every time.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, several styles of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to double their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
