First choose your wager with the four bet buttons (1 - 10 credits), and then click draw to start a hand. You will be given 5 cards. Use the hold button below each card to select which cards you want to discard, and which ones you want to hold. All cards are set to hold after the first draw. You must turn the hold OFF in order to discard a card. Then, click draw again to draw your new cards. If you have a winning hand, you'll be paid according to the odds table.
The following is an explanation of the winning hands:
Jacks or Better - A pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings, or Aces. For example: 3,4,8,K,K.
2 pair - 2 pairs of cards with the same rank. For example: 3,3,8,8,9.
3 of a kind - A set of three cards of the same rank. For example: 5,5,5,7,8.
Straight - For this hand, the ranks of all 5 cards must form a series. For example: 3,4,5,6,7. An ace can be high or low, but not both, so A,2,3,4,5 and T,J,Q,K,A are both straights, but Q,K,A,2,3 is not.
Flush - All 5 cards have the same suit. For example: the 2,4,6,9,A of spades
Full House - This hand is a combination of a pair and 3 of a kind. 3 cards of one rank and 2 cards of another rank. For example: 2,2,2,5,5.
4 of a Kind - 4 out of the 5 cards with the same rank. For example: 2,2,2,2,7.
Straight Flush - A hand that's a straight and a flush, as explained above. For example, the 2,3,4,5,6 of hearts.
Royal Flush - This is the most difficult hand to get. It consists of the Ten, Jack, Queen, King & Ace of the same suit.
Royal Flush 250 to 1 Straight Flush 50 to 1 4 of a Kind 15 to 1 Full House 8 to 1 Flush 6 to 1 Straight 5 to 1 3 of a Kind 3 to 1 Two Pair 2 to 1 Jacks or Better 1 to 1
