HOW TO PLAY
The object of the Jacks Or Better is to obtain the best possible poker hand. On the initial deal, you will be dealt five cards face up. Then you may hold all cards dealt or, if desired, can receive up to five new cards. See full instructions for more details containing poker rules.

First, choose the amount you wish to wager and press the DEAL/DRAW button to receive your cards. Then, select the cards you wish to discard. When you press DEAL/DRAW button again, you will receive new cards in the positions of the cards that were not held.

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.

• ROYAL FLUSH: A-K-Q-J-10, all of the same suit.
• STRAIGHT FLUSH: Five cards in a sequence in the same suit (e.g. 10,9,8,7,6 of Clubs).
• 4 OF A KIND: Any four cards of the same rank (e.g. A,A,A,A,Q).
• FULL HOUSE: Three of a kind and a pair (e.g. 5,5,2,2,2).
• FLUSH: Five cards, in any order, of the same suit (e.g. A,J,8,4,2 of Hearts).
• STRAIGHT: Five cards in a sequence, but not in the same suit (e.g. Q,J,10,9,8).
• 3 OF KIND: Three cards of the same rank and two unmatched cards (e.g. K,6,6,6,4).
• 2 PAIRS: Two cards of any one rank and two cards of another with an unmatched card (e.g. 9,9,3,2,2).
• 1 PAIR (JACKS OR BETTER): Two cards of any rank and three unmatched cards (e.g. K,K,9,3,2).
