Once the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Further, a few styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
