Jacks or Better video poker is the original version of video poker that began to appear in American casinos in the 1970s. It is the vanilla version of video poker that many other versions of video poker have been derived from. In Jacks or Better, the player is trying to get the highest hand possible, based on the value of hands in draw poker. The higher the hand value, the larger the payout the player will receive. The minimum hand that wins anything back from the video poker machine is a pair of Jacks. In this version of Jacks or Better video poker, the player can play up to three hands of video poker at the same time. To play all three hands, the player can click the 'Bet Max' button at the bottom of the game screen.
