Hey everyone!
Welcome to our video tutorial. In this tutorial, we're going to teach you
how to play Jacks or Better.
Jacks or Better is the simplest video poker variant available.
The name of the game comes from the fact that players can form a winning card combination
with just a pair of cards that are either Jacks or higher, such as Kings, Queens and Aces.
Other video poker variants do not include such simple winning card combinations,
and as such they offer somewhat worse winning odds.
But let's play a little to show you all of these. To launch a new game we first
have to choose a line bet. Let's just bet one for now.
Now the game gave us five cards. Like in any other video poker variant, our task
will be to keep or discard certain cards, hoping to form a winning card combination
after the discarded cards have been replaced.
In video poker, the casino usually helps the player by automatically holding those cards
that will generate a winning hand. In this case the casino automatically held the two Jacks.
Let's move on by discarding all the cards that we didn't put on hold.
And as you can see, we managed to win $5 because the two Jacks
formed a winning combination. Would this have been in a different video poker variant,
we wouldn't have won anything, since in other video poker games a pair of two
Jacks never form a winning combination. And this is how you play Jacks or Better online.
