Rules
Jacks or Better video poker uses a one deck shoe.
The deck is re-shuffled after every hand.
Five cards are dealt to you after you place the bet. Once the cards are dealt, you may choose to keep any of the cards by either clicking Hold, found directly below the card, or on the card. Once you have selected which cards to hold, click Deal and the remaining cards will be exchanged for new cards.
After this second deal, you are paid out based on the rank of the resulting poker hand.
Malfunction voids all plays and pays.

A winning hand pays out according to the number of coins wagered and their value.
Example: If you select the $1 coin and then Bet Max your wager will be 5 coins of $1 so therefore $5. If you get a Straight Flush then according to the payout schedule below you will win 250 coins with the same value as your original bet so therefore $250.
The following payout schedule illustrates the number of coins to be won if you bet 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 coins. The payout table is based on a $1 coin denomination.
