Game Objective
Once bets have been
placed you receive 5 cards. You may discard some or all of these cards and
receive replacements. The object of the game is to build the best 5-card hand
possible from the available cards. For this explanation the video poker game
used, is a Jacks or Better 9/6 game, and in
order to win, you must receive no less than a pair of Jacks. The payout table is
usually located above the cards. Up to 5 coins can be wagered in each round and the
payouts are based on the number of coins wagered before the cards are dealt.
