How to Play Jacks or Better Live Casino
Playing the Jacks or Better game is easy. First you’ll need to decide on your bet per hand, which you can adjust using the arrows next to the BET PER button to the right of the DEAL button.
When you’re ready to start playing, click DEAL. You’ll be shown five cards face up. You’ll then have the option to decide whether to hold certain cards in the hope that you’ll get a payout on the next hand. To hold a card, simply click on it.
Once you’ve made your decision, click DRAW to draw new cards (other than any you have chosen to hold). The cards you choose to remove will be discarded from the game entirely.
If you get a winning hand, this will flash up on the screen and also be highlighted in the paytable at the top left of the game screen. Only the highest award is paid per hand.
The MAX BET button at the bottom left of the screen makes it easy to bet the maximum number of coins (5) per hand. When the bet per hand increases, payout values will also increase as shown in the paytable.
