Jacks or Better Videopoker is extremely popular because it is easy and quick to
play but still contains an element of strategy. To begin you choose what
denomination of coins you wish to use, ranging from 25 cents to $5. You then deposit
coins into the machine and bet up to five coins on the hand. Once the cards are
dealt you may select which cards to keep or "hold", and the remaining cards are
replaced in the second deal. After the second deal you are paid out based on the
rank of the resulting poker hand.
Jacks or Better videopoker is the classic version, using no wild cards and only one
"deck" of cards. The minimum payout hand is a pair of Jacks, hence the name!
This game most accurately represents the odds of poker, and gives high payouts
for good hands.
