Game Rules

Multi Hand Jacks or Better

Game Objective:

The Multi Hand Jacks or Better is a game that is played between the machine and you. This is a 50-hand game that is based on the famous Jacks or Better game. In this game, you have to get a five-card poker hand that has a minimum rank of a pair of Jacks or better for as many times as you can within 50 hands. The maximum rank that you can achieve is the Royal Flush.

After your wager is placed, you will be dealt an initial hand of 5 cards. Then you can decide which cards to hold and which cards to discard. The machine will hold the same cards that you hold in the remaining 49 “mini-hands” that you have. When you replace the discarded cards, the machine will also replace cards in each of your 50 hands. A fresh deck is used for every hand. The rank of your hands will decide whether you win the game or not.
This game allows you to make more money through the Doubling Game which can be played when you get a win on any hand. With the doubling game, you are given the opportunity to double your winnings, up to a maximum of 2,000 coins.
