JACKS OR BETTER VIDEOPOKER Jacks or Better Videopoker is extremely popular because it is easy and quick to play but still contains an element of strategy. To begin you choose what denomination of coins you wish to use, ranging from 5 cents to $5. You then deposit coins into the machine and bet up to five coins on the hand. Once the cards are dealt you may select which cards to keep or "hold", and the remaining cards are replaced in the second deal. After the second deal you are paid out based on the rank of the resulting poker hand. Jacks or Better Videopoker is the classic version, using no wild cards and only one "deck" of cards. The minimum payout hand is a pair of Jacks, hence the name! This game most accurately represents the odds of poker, and gives high payouts for good hands.
