Abstract
More or Less video poker is a simple, yet fun variation of the basic video poker game. When a player has 3 of a Kind and the remaining 2 cards either “add” or “subtract” to equal the same number as the 3 of a Kind, you then have a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand.
Example 1—Cards—4/4/4/7/3
This is a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand—the 3 of a Kind are 4's and the 7 subtract 3 equals 4.
Example 2—Cards—10/10/10/8/2
This is a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand—the 3 of a Kind are 10's and the 8 add 2 equals 10.
As a bonus on the next hand following a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand (provided it has a winning outcome) the player will qualify for a “multiplier payoff” matching the prior hands 3 of a Kind face card number.
Example 1—Player has a winning More or Less 4 of a Kind hand of:
Cards—4/4/4/7/3
This is a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand—the 3 of a Kind are 4's and the 7 subtract 3 equals 4—bonus pay on next hand would be 4× on any winning hands.
Example 2—Player has a winning More or Less 4 of a Kind hand of:
Cards—10/10/10/8/2
This is a More or Less 4 of a Kind winning hand—the 3 of a Kind are 10's and the 8 add 2 equals 10—bonus pay on next hand would be 10× on any winning hands.
Description
- Video poker is so called because usually one player plays against a machine (the house) which displays the player's cards on a screen. The player places a bet and is dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card pack. The player has one opportunity to discard any number of unwanted cards (1-5) and is dealt an equal number of replacement cards from the same deck. If the player then has a sufficiently good poker hand, the house pays the player according to a fixed scale of odds according to the type of hand. Sufficiently good often means a pair of Jacks or better—if the final hand is worse than the minimum qualifying winning hand as set for that individual game then the bet is lost to the house. The exact odds offered and the minimum winning hands vary from game to game.
