This is because of the fact that playing this game successfully involves the development of a strategy that will help you gain a slight advantage over the house (computer). This advantage also means that there is a high chance that you will emerge as the overall winner if you play the game carefully.

The game is so named because of the fact that the least possible winning hand consists of a pair of Jacks, Kings, Queens or Aces. The maximum payout, as usual, goes to any hand that holds a Royal Flush (Ace, King Queen, Jack and 10 of the same suit). Depending on the number of coins that are wagered at the beginning of the game, the payout for a winning hand is determined.

The game begins after the wager, when the computer deals a set of 5 cards to the player. The player then has the choice of discarding up to 5 cards from that hand. Once this step is completed, the computer reshuffles the deck and deals out cards to replace the cards that were dropped by the player. This forms the final hand, which is then analyzed by the computer to check for any winning combinations.
