JACKS OR BETTER VIDEO POKER

In the Jacks Or Better the player must have at least a pair of jacks to win. The ranking of hands is the same as that given in the standard poker hand rankings. Only the best five cards are used to determine the winning hand, hands of lower value than a pair of jacks do not win.

A full deck of 52 cards is used and no variant hands are added. The cards rank: A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Ace also ranks low in the sequence 5-4-3-2-A (a low straight).

The ranking of hands in the Jacks Or Better is as follows. To see the payoffs look at the payoff chart.

ROYAL FLUSH
A-K-Q-J-10, all of the same suit.
