How it works
1Enter your bet. The casino owner sets the maximum bet.
2Tap Deal to receive five cards.
3Tap the cards you want to keep. Held cards are marked HELD.
4Tap Draw. Cards you did not hold are replaced.
5Your final hand is paid from the paytable. If you have no paying hand, you lose your stake.
You can only have one game at a time.
The paytable
Jacks or Better is a pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces. A pair of 10s or lower pays nothing. An Ace counts high or low in a straight.
| Hand | Pays |
|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 800x your bet |
| Straight Flush | 50x |
| Four of a Kind | 25x |
| Full House | 9x |
| Flush | 6x |
| Straight | 4x |
| Three of a Kind | 3x |
| Two Pair | 2x |
| Jacks or Better | 1x (your stake back) |
Is the draw a plain shuffle?
- No. On about 70% of hands, the replacement cards are drawn from a deck ordered against you.
- It applies when you hold 3 or more cards of one suit, or a pair of Jacks or better.
- In that case, cards that would complete your flush or match your held ranks are moved towards the back of the deck.
- This lowers your chance of improving those hands, so the paytable overstates what you can expect to win.
What happens if the casino cannot pay?
- If the vault holds less than your win, you are paid what is in the vault.
- You then take over the casino.
Tips
- A pair of 10s or lower is not a winning hand.
- Jacks or Better returns your stake. It is not a profit.
- Finish your hand within 5 minutes of the deal.
