Mega Jack
MEGA JACK
Video poker is the classic poker game played against an automated dealer. The player, after placing their bet, receives randomly dealt cards from the dealer, forming their hand. The game thus offers the possibility to change or keep the cards (from 1 to 5) according to the player's choice. The hand ends with the payment of any winnings according to the combinations listed in the paytable. The particularity of this virtual version is the option to choose how many hands to play: 1, 5, or 10.
OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME
The objective of video poker is to obtain the best possible card combination and win the highest payout allowed by the bet.
CARDS
The dealer uses a standard 52-card deck without jokers. The deck is shuffled before each hand.
