4-Line Jacks or Better
The object of 4-Line Jacks or Better is to obtain a five-card poker hand that
contains a winning combination. It differs from original Jacks or Better, since
it has four lines of cards. The better your hand, the bigger the payout. You
choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your
cards only once.
To play the game:
- Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the
+ and – buttons on the right.
- Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each
click on the Bet One button increases your bet by the value of the coin you
selected. Pressing Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum amount possible –
that is five coins – and deal the cards automatically. You can also click the
appropriate column on the winnings table to specify your bet size. The bet size
you choose is per one line. Since there are four lines of cards, four times the
amount is subtracted from your account balance. Your total bet amount is shown
in the lower right corner of the screen, after the label “Bet”.
- Click Deal (if you did not press Bet Max).
- Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button underneath the
card, or by clicking on the card itself.
- Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold.
Doubling:
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the winning (press Collect),
or you have the option to double it. Should you choose to double, the dealer
draws an open card and you are given 4 unexposed cards to choose between.
If you
choose a card that is lower than the dealer's, you lose your original winning.
If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your
original winnings (press Collect) or double again. If your card is higher, you
win double the amount of your original winnings. You then have the option to
collect your winnings or double even further.
You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double for a half of
your winning amount. You cannot double, if your winning amount exceeds $2000.

Jacks or Better Power Poker
Jacks or Better Power Poker is different from the
standard Jacks or Better video poker, as you play four identical hands
of cards. At the beginning of each game the first hand is shown to you,
with the other three hands remain face down.
The game then progresses
like a standard video poker. There are no wild cards and pays out a maximum
of 4000 coins for a Royal Flush, with five coins bet.
