Cards & Dice: Jacks or Better: How to Play Back to Game
 
OBJECT:
To draw a high-scoring hand. The hands are displayed on the game screen, in the order of their value. You must have at least a pair of face cards, or aces, to score a winning hand.
HOW TO PLAY:
In each round you will be dealt five cards. Try to build you hand from these cards, if possible. You may keep as many/few cards as you choose, or none at all. You will then be dealt cards to replace those you discarded. If you have a winning hand, the screen will highlight the hand won. If you do not have a winning hand, you will lose your bet.
To hold a card, click on the 'hold' button beneath the card. If you change your mind, just click on the 'held' button. Click on Deal/Draw to deal the cards.
