Jacks or Better - How To Play Online Jacks or Better

Jacks or Better is likely the most popular video game out there, and for good reason. The pay table is one of the friendliest out there, so not only do you have a shot at a huge payout for a royal flush but your money will go much farther, letting you get the maximum amount of gambling fun out of each and every dollar.

To play, insert money into the machine and select to bet between 1-5 coins and whether to play 1, 3, 5 or 10 hands. Press deal and your five initial cards will be displayed.

If you have the “Hold cards automatically” option selected, which you can change in the lobby, the machine may suggest which cards to hold depending on the cards that come up. If not, the choice is entirely up to you each time, as far as what cards to hold or discard. When you have decided which cards to hold, you press Draw to be dealt new cards.

When playing with multiple hands, the new cards will come in order and each hand will be evaluated separately. If you get a winning hand, the winning combination is highlighted and the winning bet is displayed.

Each time you receive a winning hand, you have the possibility to bet all or half of the winnings in a double up game. Choose a card out of four that beats the card displayed, and your bet is doubled.
