Aim of the game

Video poker is a hybrid of conventional poker and a slot machine.  Players are “dealt” a hand of five playing cards, players can then “hold” as many cards as they like before clicking the “deal” button and receiving new cards.  The aim of the game is to get the best poker hand you can.

There are many many types of video poker, however “Jacks or Better” is a common variant where the player only wins with a pair of Jacks or better, hence the name!

Holding out for a straight!
