It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced players are able to pick the most money-making ones every time.

Once the first round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to increase their profits, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
