Jacks or Better Video Poker
This
is a game of draw poker. The dealer will deal you five
cards face up. At this point you should decide which cards
to keep and which ones to throw. To keep a card just click
on the card you want to keep or on the hold button below
it. Once you are finished picking the cards to be discarded
click on the deal button and the dealer will deal your
new cards. Depending on how many cards you throw, the
same number of new cards will be dealt back into your
hand so you end up with five. Whether you win or lose
is determined by how good a poker hand you have.
Basics of Poker and Poker Hands
Most
poker games inside of our casinos are played with a standard
52-card deck. The cards are ranked according to the value
of the number on the card or the value of the face. The
ranking, from highest to lowest, goes as such: Ace (A),
King (K), Queen (Q), Jack (J), 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,
2. The ace can also be used to complete a low straight;
A, 2, 3, 4, 5. As well as numbers and faces there are
4 different types of suits which are used to determine
the value of a poker hand. These are: Spades (S), Clubs
(C), Diamonds (D), Hearts (H).
Poker
hands are valued based on their five card ranking. These
rankings are detailed below:
(A
rank of 1 equals the best)

Tie Hands
If
two hands are tied in rank, the following rules apply:
1
If two players both have straight flushes, flushes, or
straights, the highest card that is part of the hand determines
the winning hand. If the highest card still results in
a tie then the next highest card will determine the winner.
And so on...
2 If both players have a full house, then the highest
3 of a kind will determine the winner.
3 If both players have three of a kind the highest ranking
three of a kind will be determined the winner.
4 The highest-ranking pair in the hand will decide two
hands with two pair. If this still results in a tie then
the remaining pairs will be compared and the highest-ranking
pair will then decide the winner.
5 If both players have a single pair then the highest-ranking
pair will win. If this is also a tie then next highest-ranking
single card will determine the winner. If this still results
in a tie then the next highest single ranking card will
determine the winner. And so on...
6 Two hands with no pairs, flushes, or straights are compared
and the card with the highest ranking single card will
be determined the winner. If this still yields no winner
then the next highest card will be determined the winner.
And so on...
