Rules for
Draw Jackpot Video Poker
The game of Draw Jackpot Video
Poker is basically five-card draw poker played with a
standard 52-card deck. The object of the game is to
form the highest possible winning poker hand (Royal
Flush) and hit the jackpot. All winning hands and their
payoffs and the jackpot value are listed on the machine
and explained below. The deck is reshuffled after each
hand.
Bets: Draw Jackpot Poker is played with $1
chips and only one chip is allowed per hand. To make your
bet, click once on the coin receiver slot on the lower
right.
How to play: To start the game, first make your bet,
as explained above, then click on the "DEAL"
button, which is activated once the bet is made. The
machine deals you five cards. You will have a second
round of cards and you form the final poker hand by
keeping some of these first five cards and replacing the
bad ones with new cards of the second "draw"
round. To keep a card you click the mouse on the
"HOLD" button below that card. A
"Held" mark is visible under all the preserved
cards. Then click on the "DRAW" button and all
the unheld (discarded) cards are replaced by new ones and
the final hand is formed. If you succeed making a winning
hand, you will see the prize flashing on the screen,
while your winnings drop into the coin bucket, and your
account is automatically increased by the amount of the
prize.
Sound: The game is loaded in silent
mode. To activate sound, click and depress the small
button with a musical note located at the lower right of
the screen. A second mouse click will release this button
and return to silent mode.
Odds: Odds depend on the skill of the player:
Decisions of which cards to keep must be made which,
unlike other slot machines, will determine whether and
how much you can win.
Prizes: Prizes are paid in chips of $1 value and
conform to the table below. The jackpot increases each
time you and other players insert a coin in the slot and
can reach high values, up to six figures. The poker
machines at the 4 Jacks Casino conform
to the rules and payoff regulations found in Las Vegas
and casinos around the world.
