After the bettor has selected which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each better hand.
