How to Play
The video poker screen displays three values:
- Paid - The number of
coins won from the last hand.
- Credits - The total
number of coins remaining in your balance.
This value will adjust according to the
coin denomination setting of the video poker
machine.
- Coins - The number of
coins to be bet on the next hand.
This is equal to the number of coins wagered
per hand multiplied by the number of hands
played.
The video poker machine also
has six buttons:
- Deal/Draw : When at least
one coin has been bet, the deal/draw button
will become enabled. The first time
the deal/draw button is clicked, the game
begins and the initial hand is dealt.
Once the player has chosen which cards to
hold (keep), the deal/draw button can be
clicked a second time to draw the replacement
cards for each hand played and complete
the game.
- Play 25 : Quickly
selects all five hands, bets the maximum
number of coins per hand (5), and starts
the deal.
- Bet Max : Allows
the player to quickly bet the maximum number
of coins per hand. Unlike traditional
Video Poker, the game will not automatically
begin.
- Bet One : Bets one coin
at a time. Once the desired number
of coins is bet, the player must begin the
game by clicking the deal/draw button.
- Cash Out : Resets both
the number of hands being played and the
number of coins per hand to 0, returning
the coins to your balance. You may
only cash out prior to starting the deal.
 The
Bets. Select a denomination for
the video poker machine by using the buttons
below the "Select coin value" label.
This will set the value of each coin played.
Following this, choose the number of coins
to be bet per hand (from one to five) by using
the Bet One button to bet
one coin at a time, or use the Bet
Max button to bet the maximum coins
allowed by the machine (balance permitting).
Next, increase the number of hands you wish
to play by clicking the More Hands
button (the first hand is always
selected by default). Finally, click
on the Deal/Draw button
to deal the initial hand. Note that
the Play 25 button will
automatically cause the initial hand to be
dealt.
The Cards. Cards are ranked
in order of their face value, with aces considered
"high". The ranking is from lowest to
highest: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack,
Queen, King, Ace. Some games make use
of Wild Cards (ie. a joker, or any
deuce) that can be used as any other card
(rank and suit) to improve the hand.
Read further in this help document for the
details of how the cards are used by each
of the Video Poker game variation.
The Deal. Five initial cards
will be dealt to the player's first hand only,
of which, the player may choose to hold (keep)
any, all, or none. Any card that is
held in the first hand will be copied into
all the others hands played. This means
that by holding a winning combination in the
first hand guarantees (at least) this winning
combination in all of the other hands.
Each hand, using its own deck,
will then have the opportunity to draw cards
to replace any cards that were not held.
The final cards for each hand determines the
payout for each hand. The higher the
rank of each hand, the greater the payout.
Note that because each hand uses its own deck,
it is possible to receive the same cards in
more than one hand... this includes the possibility
of multiple Royal Flushes!
When you receive at least one hand that earns
a payout, you may have the option to Double
Up . The Double Up
feature is a "double or nothing" proposition
whereby you can play a bonus game for chance
to double your total winnings for that hand.
See "Double Up Feature" later in this help
for more information.

Payouts
Video Poker payouts are calculated individually
for each hand, based on the number of coins
wagered per hand and the rank of each hand.
There is no opponent in Video Poker, so the
player must simply try to achieve the highest
ranking hands possible. The higher the
rank of the hand, the greater the payout.
 The
left side of the Video Poker machine displays
a list of payouts for each type of hand based
on the current number of coins bet per line.
These payouts are listed as the number of
coins paid for a hand of the matching rank.
The denomination of the payout is equal to
the denomination of the coin(s) wagered.
As you increase the number of coins bet per
line, the list of payouts will automatically
adjust to reflect the change. Note that
when betting five coins per line, a Royal
Flush pays much more generously.
The Double Up feature,
if available, allows you to play a bonus game
to double the winnings earned for all the
hands played during that round. Each
time you successfully double up ,
your payout doubles. However, if you
fail to win a double up bonus game,
you lose all the winnings earned for that
round. If you choose not to double
up at any time, the game ends and you
keep all the winnings earned for that round.
For example: if you receive
a Straight Flush and a Full
House in the Deuces Wild game
with 5 coins played, you win 65 (45 + 20)
coins and you have the option to double
up . If you choose to double
up and win the bonus game, you would
be paid 130 coins! If you decide double
up again and win, you would then be
paid 260 coins! However, if you lost
any round of the bonus game, you would be
paid nothing and the game would end.

Placing
Bets
Video
poker bets are determined by the value/ denomination
of the coins being played. The left
side of the video poker machine has a small
digital coin value display
that allows you to select from five different
coin denominations. As you change the
value of the coins being played, you'll notice
that the number of credits adjusts itself
accordingly.
For example: $100 will provide
the user with 400 25¢ credits
(100 ÷ 0.25 = 400). If you increase
the coin value to $1, the number of credits
drops to 100.
All payouts are made using the coins with
the same denomination as those wagered.
The video poker screen displays 3 values:
- Paid - The number of
coins won from the last hand.
- Credits - The total
number of coins remaining in your balance.
This value will adjust according to the
coin denomination setting of the video poker
machine.
- Coins - The number of
coins to be bet on the next hand, this is
equal to the number of coins per hand multiplied
by the number of hands being played.
To place your bet before dealing
the cards, click the Bet One
button to bet one coin at a time. Each
time you click the Bet One
button, you will notice that one coin is removed
from the credits value,
and the coins value increases
by one. Video poker accepts a maximum
of bet of 5 coins per hand (balance permitting).
If you have sufficient credits remaining,
you can click the Bet Max
button to quickly bet the maximum 5 coins
on each hand currently selected, or you can
click the Play 25 button
to automatically select all five hands, bet
the maximum 5 coins on each hand, and immediately
start the deal.
Click the Cash Out button
if you wish to return any coins you have bet
to your balance. This effectively takes
the number of coins shown in the coins
display, and returns them to your
total credits . The
Cash Out button will also
reset the number of hands selected to 1.
You may only use the Cash Out
button prior to starting the deal.

Starting the Deal
If you click the Play
25 button, the maximum 5 coins
are bet on all five hands and the deal begins
automatically (balance permitting).
If you choose to bet one coin at a time
using the Bet One button,
or quickly assign 5 coins to each selected
hand using the Bet Max
button, you must manually start the deal
by clicking the Deal/Draw
button.
Once the cards have been dealt, you have
the option to hold (keep) any of, all of,
or none of these 5 cards (see below).
Any card that is held will be copied to
all the other selected hands. Any
card that is not held will be replaced when
you draw replacement cards by clicking the
Deal/Draw a second time.
When replacing cards, each hand will use
its own deck. You should hold any
cards you feel will contribute to the best
hands possible. To hold a card, either
click on the card itself, or click the Hold
button located just below the
card you want held. Once you are done
selecting which card(s) to hold (if any
at all), click the Deal/Draw
button a second time to draw your replacement
cards. Any card that was not held
will be replaced by a new card. The
game is now complete and the resulting hands
determine your payout.
Double up Feature
When you receive at least one hand that
earns a payout, you may have the option
to Double Up .
The Double Up feature is a "double
or nothing" proposition whereby you can
play a bonus game for chance to double your
winnings for that round. This includes
the payout for each hand played this round.
If you win the bonus game, your payout is
doubled and you may have the opportunity
to Double Up again. However,
should you fail to win the bonus game at
any time, you lose all of your winnings
for that hand. Note that there may
be a cap on the number of times you may
Double Up as well as a cap on
the maximum payout earned by this feature.
The double up bonus game is simple.
To start the double up bonus game,
click yes when prompted
to " Double Up? ". Five new
cards will then be dealt after re-shuffling
the deck. The first card, called the
house card, will be turned over while the
other four cards will remain face-down.
To win the bonus game, you must select one
of the four unrevealed cards which you think
will rank higher than the house card.
If the card you select has a higher rank
than the house card, you win and your payout
is immediately doubled. However, if
you select a card with a lower rank, you
will lose all of the winnings earned for
this hand and the game will end. If
the two cards are of the same rank, you
payout will remain the same and you will
have the option to double up again
or stop and keep your current payout.
If the house card is a 2, you will win with
any card except another 2 (where your payout
will remain unchanged). If the house
card is an Ace, you must select another
Ace in order not to lose all of your winnings.
Be aware that the five cards for the bonus
game are dealt randomly from the re-shuffled
deck. Therefore, it is possible that
none of the four unrevealed cards are of
higher rank than the house card.
