Level Up Jacks or Better – One Jacks or Better Video Poker game variant that is going to appeal to many players is the Level Up Jacks or Better game which is one of Microgaming’s most recent games to be added to their gaming suite, however this game does come with a completely new playing structure which you will need to be fully aware of before you start to play the game online!
The Jacks or Better Level Up Video Poker game requires you to place a stake of four times the standard amount you would when playing a single hand on their standard variant of this game, so if you are for example wishing to play 5 coin hands with the coin valued set at 1.00 then you need to place a wager of 5 x 1.00 x 4 = 20.00 to play one game of Level Up Poker.
You may be wondering why you have to place a wager four times as large as when you are playing their standard Jacks or Better game, well this is due to the way this game is structured. You initially get dealt out your five base hand cards and can then, as normal, select which cards to hold and which to discard and then those cards you discard are replaced.
Should you form a winning combination then you are awarded the respective winning payout, and the game then moves onto stage two of the game, this is where you play another hand of Video Poker and if that hand is a winning one any hand in the game combination formed is paid out at x2 the usual game pay table listed payouts.
A second winning hand will then move you onto the third stage of the game and any winning hand combination formed on that stage of the game sees the winning payouts boosted in value by x4, the final stage of the game is then played out and any winning hand combination formed on this stage of the stage of the game gets its payout boosted by x8!
SupaJax Progressive Game – The SupaJax Video Poker game uses Microgaming’s Jacks or Better pay table with one major difference, and this is that there is an additional card in play in the deck which is a SupaJax card.
You will receive all of the usual Jacks or Better winning payouts when playing it, however the game uses fixed coin values which means you can play from one to five coins fixed at 1.00, and instead of a five coin Royal Flush hand paying 4000 coins on the standard Jacks or Better game variant this game awards a payout of 3000 coins.
However there is an additional payout listed on the SupaJax games pay table and this is for being dealt out four Jacks along with the SupaJax card, when you get such a hand dealt out to you if you are playing 5 coin hands then you will win the progressive jackpot which is displayed on the jackpot ticker located at the top of the SupaJax game screen.
Failure to place the maximum 5 coins per hand wager when playing this SupaJax game will see you not being awarded any payout when that four Jacks and a SupaJax hand combination is dealt out to you!
