One of the best software companies around when it comes to online casinos, Microgaming brings to it’s players Jacks Or Better. This is a straight forward variation of video poker for beginners and professional poker players. The game play is very simple and easy to get the hang off. In this game the pay off is on a pair only if the pair is jacks or better! In other aspects the game is exactly like video poker.

In the game of Jacks Or Better, there are no wilds, no jokers, and no bonus payouts that are extreme or spectacular. The game offers a maximum jackpot of 4000 coins when the player reaches a Royal Flush. (for those who aren’t familiar with poker a Royal Flush is when a hand comes up with an Ace, King, Queen, Jack & 10 cards of the same suit.) Most would say this variation of video poker is the easiest around so it’s a great place to start for beginners.

Jacks Or Better is played with a traditional deck of 52 cards like I said before it doesn’t have any specialty cards like wilds or jokers thrown into the mix, after each round the deck of cards is shuffled. To begin the game a player will need to first make their wager. In the game of Jacks or Better the lowest bet is a quarter with the maximum bet being $1.25. When a player visits the Microgaming software they will be able to make deposits from their existing casino account. Their balance will be displayed on the screen so that they know how much to wager. After the player has made their bet by either clicking bet one until they’ve reached their desired amount or bet max, they can click the deal button & the game begins!

Jacks Or Better starts out with five face up cards, the player can choose which cards to hold and which to discard by clicking each card they would like to keep. After they have decided which cards to keep, they can hit draw and another round of cards will be dealt in place of those who are not being held. If the player receives a winning hand, the player will be asked if they want to double their bet and enter a showdown with the dealer. In this round a player will then be taken to another screen where one card for the dealer will be dealt face up, along side four cards that are facing down. The player then will need to choose one of these cards and it has to end up being higher than the card that is already facing up to win the bonus bet!
