For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the player has selected which cards she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that discerning bettors are able to choose the most profitable game each time.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their wins, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
