Video Poker
The object of video poker is to obtain a five-card
poker hand that contains a winning combination (see Video
Poker Variants). The better your hand,
the bigger the payout. You choose how many and which
of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards
only once (in 4-Line Video Poker you have 4 separate hands).
To play the game:
- Insert coins by clicking on chips right of
the machine. Each click increases your credit.
- Choose the value of the coins you wish to
wager each round, by clicking on a coin left of the machine.
Available options are: $0.25, $1, or $5.
- Click Bet One or Bet Max to
select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each click
on the Bet One button increases your bet by the value
of the coin you selected. Pressing Bet Max will increase
your bet to the maximum amount possible � that is five coins
� and deal the cards automatically.
- Click Deal (if you did not press Bet
Max).
- Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing
the Hold button underneath the card, or by clicking
on the card itself.
- Click Deal to replace the cards that
you did not choose to hold.
Doubling:
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept
the winning (press Collect), or you have the option
to double it. Should you choose to double, the dealer draws
an open card and you are given 4 unexposed cards to choose
between. If you choose a card that is lower than the dealer's,
you lose your original winning. If the cards are equal, it
is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original
winnings (press Collect) or double again. If your card
is higher, you win double the amount of your original winnings.
You then have the option to collect your winnings or double
even further.
You can also choose to Half Double, which
means you only double for a half of your winning amount. You
cannot double, if your winning amount exceeds $2000.

Video Poker Variants
We offer several kinds of Video Poker. The differences
are only in the winning tables � in different games, different
winning amounts are offered for different combinations.�
Some of the words and jargon used in poker are
explained here:
Pair � two cards of the same kind, e.g. two
Queens.
Tens or Better � a pair of 10-s or of higher
cards Thus two 4-s do not qualify as a winning combination,
while two Jacks do.
Jacks or Better � a pair of Jacks or of higher
cards. Thus two 4-s do not qualify as a winning combination,
while two Jacks do.
Three of a kind � three cards of the same kind,
e.g. three 7-s.
Two Pair � two pairs, e.g. two Queens and two
5-s.
Straight � five consequtive cards, e.g. 7, 8,
9, 10, Jack and Queen
Flush � five cards of the same suit, e.g. 7
of Hearts, 9 of Hearts, 10 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts and
Ace of Hearts.
Full House � a five cards hand consisting of
a Pair and Three of a Kind, e. g. two 10-s and three 7-s.
Four of a Kind � four cards of the same kind,
e.g. four Kings.
Straight Flush � five consequtive cards of the
same suit, e.g. 4 of Spades, 5 of Spades, 6 of Spades, 7 of
Spades and 8 of Spades.
Royal Flush � five consequtive cards of the
same suit, from 10 to Ace, e.g. 10 of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds,
Queen of Diamonds, King of Diamonds and Ace of Diamonds.
Some notes:
- In Deuces Wild, the deuces are wild (meaning
a deuce stands for any card) � hence the name.
- In Joker Poker, the Jokers are wild.
- In MegaJacks Progressive Video Poker, there
is a progressive jackpot, meaning that a certain percentage
of each bet you make, is added to the progressive jackpot
pool. You win the jackpot, if you are playing for max bet
and get the royal flush. The current size of the jackpot
is displayed on the scrollbar near the top edge of the machine.
- In 4-Line Video Poker, the bet you make is
multiplied by 4, one per each line. If you win on multiple
lines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.
