Jacks or Better Video Poker

Jacks or Better is probably the most popular video poker games. The game of Jacks or Better starts out with the player being dealt five cards from the dealer. Once the five cards are dealt the player must then decide which cards they will keep or “hold”. Then the player discards the unwanted cards for new ones by selecting the deal button.

If the final hand consists of at least a pair of Jacks or better it is a winning hand. For example, if you have a pair of kings you have a winning hand. If you have a pair of nines your hand has lost. All winning hands are paid out based on the paytable.

When playing Jacks or Better, playing more coins increases the payouts on winning hands.  

Jacks or Better Rules:

  • Hands are graded based on the pay table

  • Cards are dealt from a single deck

  • Cards are re-shuffled each hand

  • Player has the option to discard up to five cards.

If you are playing multiple hands of Jacks or Better each game is a separate game from the other. Each separate hand must have at least a pair of Jacks for that hand to win. If you were playing three hands simultaneously, it is possible to win two of the hands and to lose one, win all three, lose all three, or win one hand and lose two hands. The payouts for winning hands would be based on the payout table.
