4 Line Jacks

4-Line Jacks or Better is an online casino video poker game variation in which players aim to hit a winning five-card poker combination on one or more of the four lines. In Jacks or Better, the lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks.

Rules

With four lines of cards instead of one like the traditional version of flash casino Jacks or Better, players have four times the chances to win with each deal. The game is played with four 52-card decks with each line using a different deck of cards. Winning combinations on each line are treated as a different hand.

Start by choosing a bet amount from a minimum of one coin to a maximum of five. The bet is multiplied by four, one time for each line, and the total sum is deducted from the player’s account.

After the bet is placed, the cards are dealt. Choose which cards to hold and which cards to replace. Cards which form a winning combination in the initial deal automatically are held by the auto-hold feature. After deciding which cards to hold, hit deal. The cards are checked for winning combinations, and the winnings are paid for the best combination in each line.

Since the lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks, anything lower, such as a pair of tens, does not pay; but pairs of Queens, Kings and Aces are golden. Other winning combinations include: two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, five of a kind and royal flush.

When a winning combination is hit, players can choose to double their winnings. In doubling, the dealer draws a card face up and allows the player to choose one card from four face down cards. If the selected card is lower than the dealer’s card, the entire winnings from the previous hand are forfeited; however, if the selected card is higher, payout is doubled. If the cards are equal, it is a draw and the original winnings are paid.

Alternatively, players can opt to double half their winnings. When doubling half, only half of the initial winnings are at stake, the other half are bet the same as in doubling.
