Jacks or Better Draw Poker is a live dealer table game from Pragmatic Play’s dedicated live casino team. A classic player-versus-casino live dealer poker game with standard video poker rules. The stronger your winning hand, the better your payout, up to 800x for a Royal Flush in the main game.

To win a game round of Jacks or Better Draw Poker, you must end up with a five-card poker hand higher in rank than a pair of Jacks to score a payout. This is classed as winning the round, as you walk away with a payout. When the allocated betting time ends, the dealer will deal out your first five cards from the shoe, and any side bets will be resolved.
You then have a choice to keep or discard any or all of the five cards in your hand and receive new cards to try and create a stronger poker hand. Tap to select any cards you want to keep; when the timer runs out, unselected cards are removed.
The dealer then deals out a further five cards. Any gaps in your hand are automatically filled by the new cards, your final hand is evaluated, and payouts are awarded as necessary.
