The object of 10s or
Better 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.
To play the game:
- 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.
