Game of the Month: Ten Play Jacks or Better

- Wednesday, July 25 2012

Give yourself a big hand with Ten Play Jacks or Better

Video poker has become the game of choice for those looking to combine the thrill of slot machines with the skill of cards. Players must carefully watch over their hand in the hope of getting a good enough sequence to secure a payout.

To start with, it would help to know what the game is all about. Jacks or Better means that it is possible to win money with a hand consisting of a pair of Jacks, or anything higher. This game is based on 'five card draw', where a player is dealt five cards, has one opportunity to switch as many as he chooses and then presents his hand.

Naturally, the size of the return is based on two factors - the amount of money staked and the strength of the hand. Players can bet between one and five credits per hand. A pair of Jacks is returned at evens, while a three of a kind will triple your stake.

However, to get into the big money you need to hit four of a kind or the flushes. The biggest possible win for one hand is 4,000 credits, achieved by staking the maximum allowed and finding that elusive royal flush.

Ten Play explained

As if the excitement of one hand wasn't enough, Ten Play Poker allows for bets to be placed on multiple hands simultaneously, ensuring fast-paced action and plenty of opportunities for the cards to fall your way.

There are many variants of video poker to be found at Kerching. Ten Play Joker Poker counts jokers as wild cards, and includes an additional prize for five of a kind, achievable only with the use of wilds. Meanwhile, Ten Play Poker Bonus awards a special prize for any player lucky enough to secure four of a kind.
