The object of Megajacks is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout (see the winnings table on the machine). You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.

Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the + and – buttons on the left.

·Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button increases your bet by the value of the coin you selected. Pressing Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum amount possible – that is five coins – 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.

·If you do not obtain a winning combination, the round is over and you can start over. If you do, see the next section.

Doubling:>>

If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the winning (press Collect), or you have the option to double it. Should you choose to double, the dealer draws an open card and you are given 4 unexposed cards to choose between. If you choose a card that is lower than the dealer's, you lose your original winning. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (press Collect) or double again. If your card is higher, your win amount is doubled. You then have the option to collect your winnings or double even further.

You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double for a half of your winning amount. You cannot double, if your winning amount exceeds $2000.
