It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful bettors are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each time.
After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their profits, in which instance another game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
