Jacks or Better Game

The Jacks or Better card game offers a great blend of simple yet interactive gameplay, all of which is presented in a pleasant digital setting. The basis of play here is to create classic Poker hands with the cards dealt in play, removing strategy in favour of some complete luck-based gameplay. Gamers looking for a unique play experience may find the Jacks or Better game at BoyleSports Games a great card game option. 

Jacks or Better Game Background

The gameplay of Jacks or Better takes place across a screen filled with authentic card game-related and interesting digital visual features. The play screen is centred around the 5 cards in play here with a backdrop featuring dark red and blue colours that do not distract from the gameplay taking place. To the left of the playing cards here is a prize ladder like those found in many online jackpot slots that display the value of each potential outcome in Jacks or Better. Across the bottom of the screen, the player can see all of the game features including bet stake and play options available here.

Plenty of thought has been put into the total design of Jacks or Better, with the red and blue colours depicted across the screen in keeping with the game logo. Across the top of the screen, the Jacks or Better title is displayed over a red and blue banner with mediaeval imagery depicted in front, including a knight, a king and a sword. There is also a display of 7 cards depicted behind the game title here featuring various different values that could be turned over in play!

How to Play Jacks or Better

Gameplay in Jacks or Better, as with many games, begins by selecting the desired bet stake in play. This is done using the + and - icons on the screen with stakes worth between £0.05 and £30.

Once the bet stake has been decided, players can select the ‘DEAL’ option on screen that turns the 5 face-down cards over to reveal the player's hand. Players can then reveal any of the classic playing card values taken from traditional online table games.

• Jacks or Better - Contains a pair of Jacks, Queen, kings or Aces.

• Two Pair - Contains 2 separate pairs of matching symbols.

• Three of a Kind - Contains 3 cards of matching value.

• Straight - Contains 5 cards of any suit in sequence (7, 8, 9, 10, J, etc).

• Flush - Contains 5 cards of the same suit in no sequence order.

• Full House - Contains 3 cards of the same value and another matching pair.

• Four of a Kind - Contains 4 cards of matching value.

• Straight Flush - Contains 5 cards of the same suit in sequence (9, 10, J, Q, K, etc).

• Royal Flush - Contains the 10, J, Q, K and A of the same suit.

Depending on the rarity of the hand in question, various multipliers could be applied to the original bet stake should one of the hands listed above be randomly formed during gameplay. This is similar to live poker, however, it removes the interactive elements in favour of some more RNG based gameplay.

Jacks or Better Game Features

Along with the great gameplay and various different hand values included here, there is a bonus feature which players could potentially make use of. This is triggered after every new hand is dealt in play and allows the gamer to select cards they wish to hold as the remaining ones are respun. Although this does not deviate too far from the foundations of poker, it is still a unique addition that adds an extra layer to this title overall.

Jacks or Better Mobile

Like many of the different releases available from BoyleSports Games, Jacks or Better is fully compatible with a range of devices. The compatibility in Jacks or Better means that players with an internet connection can enjoy all of the gameplay described above with their smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC, no matter the screen size.

Play Jacks or Better at BoyleSports

Compared to other traditional table games, Jacks or Better is much more unique due to it removing some interactive elements, an aspect which somewhat defines this collection of games. However, due to its creative gameplay blueprint and a slight bonus inclusion, this game still remains faithful to its poker influences.

If table game style titles like Jacks or Better are not to your particular liking though, there is a range of alternative slot titles at BoyleSports Games including Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Halloween slot which merges both halloween and fishing themed visuals and the fan favourite Buffalo King slot which lends itself to the highly popular animal genre.
