Jacks or Better

Online card games have become the cornerstone of online gaming. Whether it's live streaming games from casino floors in Europe or a simple video slot-style blackjack experience, there's something for everyone in the world of online cards.

Which is why Jacks or Better is one of our most popular online card games. Microgaming has designed a dead-simple game with a minimalist interface that appeals to hardcore poker fans as well as those who are just dipping their toes in the pool of online gambling.

Jacks or Better is your standard five card draw poker game. When the game begins, you are dealt five cards. You then decide which cards you want to discard and which ones you want to keep. Your discarded cards are then replaced. If you have a hand with at least a pair of jacks, you win the hand.

The minimum bet is .25 credits. The maximum bet is 25 credits. This wide range is great for high rollers and budget punters alike.

After a win a hand, you have the option of the “showdown” to double your bet. The dealer deals himself a card up. You are then dealt four down cards. Pick a card – and if it is higher than the dealer's card, you win. If not, though, you lose everything. Choose wisely!

But this is the only non-regular gameplay feature you're going to find on Jacks or Better. There are no jokers in the deck, and there are no wild cards or bonuses. This is a straight-up card game for serious players. We wish you all the luck in the world! And may all your cards be jacks or better.
