Draw poker is an extremely popular game in the casino. Mini Vegas Casino has created its Jacks or Better Poker game with authentic sound and outstanding sharpness. You can choose to play online with coin values of $0.25, $0.50, $1, and $5. Your total wager determines the amount of your payout.
The multiplayer video poker game at Mini Vegas Casino allows players to chat with one another while they play online. You can even observe others play video poker without playing yourself.
How It Works
Once you have entered the online casino, you can easily check the guest book to see if any of your friends are currently in the casino and the games in which they are currently participating by clicking on "Information/Info." You can then go back to the game menu to select your game. In the "game room," some video poker machines will be occupied while others will be free. If you find all the machines occupied, simply click on the arrow in the upper right corner to move to the next game room. In the upper left corner, you will find the VIP arrow that leads to exciting, new features for loyal Mini Vegas Casino members.
How To Play
The object of video draw poker is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains at least one pair of Jacks or Better. The better your hand, the better your payoff.
In the game room, you will find various groups of video poker machines. You can choose to play at any vacant machine by first clicking on a group. If at least one machine in a group is occupied, the denomination of the four machines in that group ($0.25, $0.50, $1, or $5) will be displayed at the top of the group and in the "Table Info" box to the right. If you choose to play in a group where all four machines are unoccupied, you will be asked to select the denomination of the four machines in the group.
Once you have selected a group of machines, press the PLAY button to activate your individual video poker machine. Insert money into the machine by first clicking on the 25-cent coin, 1-dollar coin, 5-dollar bill, or 20-dollar bill in the lower left-hand corner and then clicking on the machine's coin slot.
Next, choose the total amount that you wish to wager in the round by clicking on the BET ONE button up to five times. If you choose to wager the maximum amount (the machine denomination x 5) simply push the BET MAX button. If you press the BET MAX button, your cards will be dealt automatically. If you use the BET ONE button to select the number of wagered coins, you must press the DEAL button to receive your cards.
You may draw up to five new cards to improve your hand. To keep individual cards, click on the cards or on the HOLD button beneath the cards. Then when you press DEAL, you will receive new cards in the positions of the cards that were not held. Whenever you like, you may cash out to receive your credits in the machine by pressing the CASH OUT button. Your money will be returned to your credit balance. To exit the Video Poker room and return to the main menu, you must play out the hand you have been dealt and cash out. Then click on the EXIT button.
