Mini Bonus

The Mini bonus amount is increased every time “Jacks or Better” appear in your hand and the amount depends on the previously selected bet. “Jacks or Better” means a combination of either two Jacks, two Queens, two Kings or two Aces. After you have had a random number of “Jacks or Better” hits, the displayed Mini bonus is paid, but only after you have bet on a 2nd round of the current hand.

Double or Nothing Game

When a winning combination lands, at the bottom of the screen you will see the amount that you have won. In the paytable area on the left you will see the back of a playing card which flickers between red and blue. On the right you will see a list of numbers which are the amounts for doubling your bet, starting with the lowest and going up to the highest at the top. Depending on how much you won during the main game, the number of times you have to double your winnings to reach the top can be as many as 8 or as few as 2. The payout amount at the top of the scale will also change depending on your winning amount in the main game. You now have a choice, whether to collect your winnings or risk them in the Double or Nothing game. If you wish to try and double your winning amount, then choose either Red or Black by clicking on the appropriate button in the control panel. If you are successful then you can continue as each successful guess will move you one step up the pay ladder on the right hand side of the paytable area. However, one wrong guess will clear all your winnings and return you to the main game. You can collect your winnings at anytime by clicking on the Take button.

How to Play the Game

The main playing screen has a blue background and the paytable is displayed in the top section. After setting your bet, you can click on the draw button and five cards will appear in the main playing area. Depending on what cards appear you can hold some, by clicking on them, and exchange the rest which will deduct a second bet from your balance. The machine itself highlights any cards that can create combinations after your first draw, and you can choose whether or not to hold them. After the second draw the round is finished and you will need to start a new one. If you do not hold any cards in the first round, then the next time you click on draw, a new game will start.
