The object of Megajacks
progressive jackpots is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout (see the paytable on the machine). You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
A certain percentage of every bet you make goes into the progressive jackpots pool. The current size of the
progressive jackpots pool is displayed on the red scrollbar on top of the machine. You win the jackpot, if you get a Royal Flush while playing for Max Bet.
To play the
progressive jackpots game:
Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the amount you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button increases your bet by 25?. Pressing Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum amount possible - that is 5 x 25? - and deals the cards automatically. You can also click the appropriate column on the winnings table to specify your bet size.
Click Deal (if you did not press Bet Max).
Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button underneath the card, or by clicking on the card itself.
Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold.
The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.
If you do not obtain a winning combination, the round is over and you can start over. If you do, see the next section.
