Jacks or Better 4 Line Video Poker

Jacks or Better Four Line Video Poker is one of the simplest variants of 4-line video poker that is available for play at online casinos. Like all other video poker games, this game is also very simpl...

le to understand, but despite the simple rule, this game can also prove to be fairly challenging for even the most experienced player. It is for this reason that experts and novices alike enjoy playing this game.

The game gets its name from the fact that it is played with four individual packs of standard 52 card decks that are arrayed along four lines. Jacks or Better means that the minimum possible winning hand for this game is a pair of Jacks or a hand better than that (Pair of Kings, Queens or Aces). The Royal Flush is the best possible hand.

To begin playing, the player chooses a wager of anywhere between one and five coins for every round that is played. Most machines have a fixed coin value of anywhere between a low $0.05 to $5, and this is what decides the eventual payout amount, although all payouts are made as coins.

After the wager is made, the player is dealt five cards by the machine. These five cards are the initial hand, and based on this hand, the player chooses what cards to choose and what to let go. Once this step is done, the computer takes the held cards and makes four identical rows of these cards. The four separate packs are then used to substitute the discards. Finally these four rows are checked to see if the player wins anything.
