SINGLE LINE POKER

Aces & Faces
The object of Aces and Faces 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.
To play the game:

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

Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each click
on the Bet One button adds another coin to the bet. Clicking Bet Max increases your bet
to the maximum 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.

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 did not get a winning combination, the round is over and you can start again. If
you did get a winning combination, see the next section.

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.
Doubling:
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click Collect), or Double it. Should
you choose to Double, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 face-down cards to
choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower than the dealer's, you lose your
original win. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original

winnings (click Collect) or Double again. If your card is higher, you win double your original
win amount. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double again.
You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double using half of your winning
amount, and deposit the rest into your balance.
You can move the Double window (if enabled in the Options) by dragging it with the mouse.
Doubling is a separate game round, and can be viewed as such in the Game History. During
doubling the Bet screen displays the amount wagered for doubling. The Win screen displays the
win amount for the current round.

MULTI-LINE POKER
50-Line Jacks or Better
The object of 50-Line Jacks or Better is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning
combination. It differs from original Jacks or Better, since it has fifty lines of cards. Each line
uses a different deck of cards. Each line is treated as a separate hand for the determination of any
wins.
The better your hand, the bigger the payout. You choose how many and which of your cards are
to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
To play the game:

Choose the value of the coins you wish to bet each round, by clicking on the + and
buttons on the right of the screen.

Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the number of coins you wish to bet. Each click on
the Bet One button adds another coin to the bet. Clicking Bet Max increases your bet to
the maximum that is, five coins per line and deals the cards automatically. You can
also click the appropriate column on the paytable to specify the number of coins per line.
The bet size you choose is per one line. Since there are fifty lines of cards, fifty times the
single line bet amount is subtracted from your account balance. Your total bet amount is
shown on the Bet screen in the lower right corner of the window.

Click Deal.

Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button underneath the card,
or by clicking on the card itself. Held cards are used across all fifty lines of cards. The
game has an auto-hold feature where cards that make up a winning hand on the original
deal are automatically held.

Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold. After the cards have been
replaced, your cards are checked for any winning combinations, described in the paytable
(click the Paytable button to see it, click again to close it).

If you have winning hands on multiple lines, your winnings are added up.

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.

Doubling:
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click Collect), or Double it. Should
you choose to Double, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 face-down cards to
choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower than the dealer's, you lose your

win amount. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double again.

amount, and deposit the rest into your balance.

Progressive jackpot:
Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet,
by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot.
When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can
also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount
of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after
someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.
Please note:

In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.

If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the
value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino;
the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without
placing a new bet.

If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client),
you will be notified of it by the casino.

The Jackpot for this game works like this:

Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with):

1 250 x coin size

Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the

Jackpot):

2%

Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):

Royal Flush.

Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the

Jackpot):

Play for max bet.
