A player is said to have a soft hand when one of the cards is an ace, and its
value can equal either 1 or 11 without the hand’s total being greater than 21.
The hand is soft because the ace gives you two values for your one hand.

About Video Poker
Play begins in Video Poker with the
dealer giving you five cards. You then
have one chance to replace as many
cards as you feel necessary.
Winning and losing in Video Poker, un-
like most other forms of poker, is not
based on comparing the value of your
handagainstanotherhand. Instead, you
arerewardedforthevalue of yourhand.
The better the hand, the more you are
awarded.
Your award is multiplied by the dollar
amountthatyoubet. Forexample,ifyou
bet $5 on a hand that pays 5 to 1 the
award would be $25. If you bet $5 on a
hand that pays 1 to 1, you would then
win back your original wager of $5.
The following sections explain winning
hands and their value.
Jacks or Better (Pays 1 to 1): One
pair of jacks, queens, kings, or aces.
Two Pair (Pays 2 to 1): Two pairs of
equal value cards, such as two 5's and
two 9's.
Three-of-a-Kind (Pays 3 to 1): Any
three cards of equal value.
Straight (Pays 5 to 1): Any five cards
of consecutive value. Aces may be
placed either before a 2 or after a king.
Flush (Pays 6 to 1): Any five cards of
the same suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs,
or spades).
Full House (Pays9to 1):Onepairand
one three-of-a-kind, such as three kings
and two 5’s.
Four-of-a-Kind (Pays 25 to 1): Any
four cards of equal value.
Straight Flush (Pays 50 to 1): Any
five cards that are of consecutive value
and all of the same suit.
Royal Flush (Pays 250 to 1 or 800 to
1 for $5): A 10, jack, queen, king, and
ace all of the same suit.
