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

It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to choose the most profitable machine each and every instance.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their profits, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
