JACKS OR BETTER

Jacks or Better is a classic Poker game played against the automated dealer. After placing the bet, the player receives randomly dealt cards from the dealer, forming their hand. The game offers the possibility to change or keep the cards (from 1 to 5) according to the player's choice. The hand ends with the payment of any winnings based on the combinations listed in the payout table. The uniqueness of this virtual version is the option to choose how many hands to play: 1, 5, or 10.

GAMEPLAY

Before starting the game, it's necessary to set the Bet Level by clicking on the corresponding button.

To confirm the start of the hand, click on Deal; at this point, the dealer will deal 5 cards. It's now possible to select the cards to keep (from 1 to 5).

Click on the card or the corresponding "held" icon to keep one of the cards; the word "Held" will be displayed on the selected card. Then, by clicking on Draw, the discarded cards (from 1 to 5) will be replaced.

Winnings are determined by the combinations listed on the payout table.
