The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

It should be known that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most profitable game each time.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their wins, in which instance a further round is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
