As in every draw poker game, in Jacks or Better the Player is dealt 5 cards face up. Then, the Player decides which cards to keep or "hold" and which cards to discard.
Your closing hand will establish whether you win or lose the game. You have a winning hand if you hold a pair of Jacks or Better. Playing more coins increases the payouts on winning hands. There is a special Payline in the paytable for 4 of a kind.
