Game Tutorials: Jacks Or Better
Description and Objective
Jacks Or Better is a game of draw poker, in which the player is dealt 5 cards face up. The player then decides which cards to keep or “hold” and which cards to discard. The player simply clicks on each card they wish to hold. Player now clicks the “Deal” button and new cards will be dealt where the discarded (non-held) cards once appeared. The total of the 5 cards that you now have is your final hand. Your final hand determines whether you win or lose the game.
Please see the pay table on this machine for additional information.
Single Hand Video Poker
Each 1-hand Video Poker game can be played for $.05, $.25, $.50, $1.00 or $5.00 and you may play from 1 to 5 coins per hand. Depending on the amount of coins played, the game will highlight the payout column in order for there to be no confusion as to how much you are playing for on any particular game.
Multi-Hand Video Poker (3 or more hands)
Each Video Poker game that consists of 3 or more hands can be played for $.01, $.05, $.25, $.50 or $1.00 and you may play from 1 to 5 coins per hand. In addition, players can choose from 3 hands, 10 hands, 52 hands or 100 hands. If you are playing a game that consists of 3 or more hands, you can click on the Paytable button to view the payout table and the proper column will be highlighted based on the amount of coins played.
In each of the hands played by a player, the cards held by the player appear. Cards are drawn randomly to fill the rest of the spots. Once a card or cards have been discarded by the player, the card or cards cannot appear in any of the subsequent hands.
