Jacks or Better

Description and Objective

Jacks or Better is a game of draw poker. The player receives five cards from the dealer; the player then chooses which of the cards to keep or “hold”. Then discards the remaining cards for new ones by pressing deal. The final hand is determined a winning hand if the player has a pair of Jacks or better.

Playing more coins increases the payouts on winning hands.
