Play 10 Line Jacks or Better Video Poker Now
(Free Download)

The object of 10 Line Jacks or Better Video Poker is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. It differs from original Jacks or Better, since it has ten lines of cards. Each line uses a different deck of cards. Each line is treated as a separate hand for the determination of any wins.

The better your hand, the bigger the payout. You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.

To play the 10 Line Jacks or Better Video Poker game:

• Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the + and - buttons on the right of the screen.
• Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button adds another coin to the bet. Clicking Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum - that is, five coins per line - and deals the cards automatically. You can also click the appropriate column on the paytable to specify the number of coins per line.
• The bet size you choose is per one line. Since there are ten lines of cards, ten times the single line bet amount is subtracted from your account balance. Your total bet amount is shown on the Bet screen in the lower right corner of the window.
• Click Deal.
• Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button under the card, or by clicking on the card itself. Held cards are used across all ten lines. The game has an auto-hold feature where cards that make up a winning hand on the original deal are automatically held.
• Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold. After the cards have been replaced, your cards are checked for any winning combinations, described in the paytable (click the Paytable button to see it, click again to close it).
• If you have winning hands on multiple lines, your winnings are added up.
• The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.
• This is a Progressive game, meaning that a large jackpot is accumulated as players from around the world place their bets. You can see the jackpot amount in a ticker on the screen.
• Please note that if you win the Jackpot on the first line, then all the remaining lines will each give you a seed amount - the minimum a jackpot can be. The seed amount is 4000x your chosen coin value.

Progressive jackpot:

One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).

After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.

Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.

Please note:

• In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
• If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
• If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.

Doubling:

If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click Collect), or Double it. Should you choose to Double, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 face-down cards to choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower than the dealer's, you lose your original win. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (click Collect) or Double again. If your card is higher, you win double your original win amount. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double again.

You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double using half of your winning amount, and deposit the rest into your balance.

You can move the Double window (if enabled in the Options) by dragging it with the mouse. Doubling is a separate game round, and can be viewed as such in the Game History. During doubling the Bet screen displays the amount wagered for doubling. The Win screen displays the win amount for the current round.

The lower edge of the game window holds the casino toolbar. It contains the following:
