Jacks or Better Video
Poker
The object of video
poker is to obtain a five card poker hand that contains at
least one pair of jacks or better. The better the hand, the
bigger the payout. You choose how many and which of your cards
are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
To place your bet
1. Click on chips
in amounts from $1 to $500. Each click increases your bet.
The chips you choose to bet are stored as credit in
the game.
2. Choose the
value of the coins you wish to wager in each round. Available
options are: $0.25, $1, or $5.
3. Click Bet
One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you
wish to wager.
Each bet you make reduces the credit number by the value of
the coin you wagered. For example, when you click Bet One
your credit will read 9.75, having been reduced from 10 to
bet on your cards. If you click Bet Max your credit
will read 8.75, having been reduced by $1.25 to bet on your
cards.
4. Click Deal.
Doubling:
If you end up with
a winning hand, you can accept the winning (press Collect),
or you have the option to double it. Should you choose to
double, the dealer draws an open card and you are given 4
unexposed cards to choose between. If you choose a card that
is smaller than the dealer's, you lose your original winning.
If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option
to collect your original winnings (press Collect) or
double again. If your card is bigger, you win double the amount
of your original winnings. You then have the option to collect
your winnings or double even further.
You can also choose to Half Double, which means you
only double for a half of your winning amount. You cannot
double, if your winning amount exceeds $2000.
If you are disconnected
from the Internet in the middle of a game, re-establish your
Internet connection and log back into the casino. You will
be automatically directed to the game that was interrupted.
