Jacks or Better Video pokers are some of the most popular video poker games in online casinos, as they have more favourable payout percentages than most other casino games. Jacks or Better is one of the most common video pokers available.

All video pokers work in the same way and Jacks or Better is no exception. You place a bet and are dealt a hand of 5 cards, face up. You select the cards that you want to Hold, and then the remaining cards are replaced once with fresh cards. After the replacement you are paid out for the best hand that the 5 cards make, according to a paytable linked to hand values.

Some video pokers are played with a single hand; others can have up to 100 hands. In the case of multi-hand video pokers, the same initial hand is dealt to all the hands. The cards that you choose to hold on your main hand are also held on all the other cards – but different fresh cards are dealt to each of the hands – meaning that you end up with a variety of different high hands to get paid out on at the end of the round.

To start Jacks or Better video poker, you first place your bet, having selected a chip size with the + and – buttons. Click Deal to have your bet placed and receive your first 5 cards. You click on the cards you wish to hold and then click the Draw button for fresh cards. Each line gets cards from a separate card deck. You also have a chance to double your winnings using a Double or Nothing gamble feature. In Jacks or Better, a hand needs to have the value of at least a pair of Jacks to pay out.
