Jacks or Better

Jacks or Better is one of the most well known versions of online video poker available. The game is based on the standard five card draw poker, however, rather than playing the game against other people, the player plays against the computer software. The software is the dealer, and only the player is dealt a hand. While most slots give players little advantage over the house, when players are careful to follow good strategy, they will find that it is even possible to end up with a slight advantage over the casino. The name of the game Jacks of Better is connected to the lowest possible winning hand that a player can get. The lowest hand value is a pair of Jacks. Any pair that has a value from 10 or lower is not counted as a single pair.

Jacks or Better Payouts

As with most video poker games, the highest hand value in Jacks or Better is the Royal Flush. Players at Slots Heaven will receive a payout of 250 to 1 for a Royal Flush and if they have wagered the max bet, and get a Royal Flush, the top payout is 4,000. A Straight Flush is the second highest hand with a payout of 50 to 1, which is followed by the Four of a Kind at 25 to 1. The Full House is paid out at 9 to 1, and the Flush is paid at 6 to 1. After the Flush comes the Straight with a 4 to 1 payout, and then the Three of a Kind with 3 to 1. Two Pairs are paid out at 2 to 1, and the Jacks or Better winning hand is paid out at even money.
