Multihand Jacks or Better
MULTIHAND JACKS... SCREENSHOT  |
Short Description
Multihand Jacks or Better follows the rules of usual video game Jacks or Better. The only difference is that in Multihand Jacks or Better, you get to play 4 hands simultaneously.
Basic Play
So, first you are dealt 4 hands of five cards each, face down. After you place your bet, the first hand is revealed. Then, select the cards you wish to hold or discard. When you hold a card, the cards in the same position in the remaining 3 hands take the value of the card you held and are displayed. After choosing the cards you wish to hold, click Draw, and the remaining cards will be replaced.
You win on all hands that form winning poker hands (see the table below). Your objective is to complete the game with the strongest hands possible. The payout is dependent on the value of the hand you are holding.
Depending on how the game is set up by the operator of the site, you may see the options Double and Double Half on any winning hands. This lets you double your winnings or half of your winnings on a bet that a single card dealt to you will be higher than a single card dealt to the dealer. You can also skip the doubling phase and just Collect your winnings.
Rules
A separate standard 52-card deck is used for each hand. So if you get, for example, the 9 of clubs in one hand, you could also be dealt the 9 of clubs in one or more of the other hands.
You can only select which cards to Hold on the first hand. Once you have selected which cards to Hold and clicked on Draw, all the cards in all 4 hands that aren't being held will be replaced at the same time.
