Jacks or Better Video Poker is a version of the five-card draw poker game that is played between the computer (dealer) and the player. This is possibly the simplest form of video poker that is available and so it can be successfully used in order to gain an understanding of the game and its various nuances. This is because of the fact that playing this game successfully involves the development of a strategy that will help you gain a slight advantage over the house (computer). This advantage also means that there is a high chance that you will emerge as the overall winner if you play the game carefully.
The game is so named because of the fact that the least possible winning hand consists of a pair of Jacks, Kings, Queens or Aces. The maximum payout, as usual, goes to any hand that holds a Royal Flush (Ace, King Queen, Jack and 10 of the same suit). Depending on the number of coins that are wagered at the beginning of the game, the payout for a winning hand is determined.
The game begins after the wager, when the computer deals a set of 5 cards to the player. The player then has the choice of discarding up to 5 cards from that hand. Once this step is completed, the computer reshuffles the deck and deals out cards to replace the cards that were dropped by the player. This forms the final hand, which is then analyzed by the computer to check for any winning combinations.

All the Playtech's video pokers have the same features and paying tables, they are all Jacks or Better - no lower pairs allowed (with an exception of tens or better game) which make them in fact one and the same game with a bit difference in graphics, at least from what I've tried till now in a free mode here. Don't see...

Don't see the point of choosing this instead of 10's or better game as quite logically the first mentioned gives you a better winning possibilities.

The graphics and overall look and feel are a little unconventional to me, it may or may not be to your taste ... it certainly has a little more "design" than the bland and purely functional interface I am used to when playing video poker at my local land casino.

The graphics and overall look and feel are a little unconventional to me, it may or may not be to your taste ... it certainly has a little more "design" than the bland and purely functional interface I am used to when playing video poker at my local land casino. Still, it makes no difference to the game play and I am always pleased to see a proper jacks or better paytable on-line, as there are plenty of operators who make sly and sneaky adjustments to some of the payouts, I assume, hoping not to be noticed... but of course any experienced Video Poker player will know they are being ripped off in an instant. The game plays well, it is very fast, and seems fair to me over a large number of hands. I do like the half double feature as well.
Show moreAs a video poker game goes, Playtechs is very good quality - its reasonably quick, the cards look great, and the paytable is full pay 9/6 jacks or better, as it should be. Of course, it IS just jacks or better, so theres not really much of interest here - the half double feature is a nice addition, and I'll admit I have...
