For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be handed out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are able to choose the most beneficial machine each and every time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won.
