10s or Better video poker is a classic favorite. When you play you choose 1-5 coins to play and you will be dealt five cards. The object is to get a hand consisting of a pair of 10’s or better. You may hold 0-5 of your original cards then you press the deal button. Each of your unheld cards will be replaced with a new card, and the game will determine if you have a winning hand.

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 pay table on the machine).

You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.

How To Play

Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons.
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. Held cards are used across all 10 lines of cards. An auto-hold feature exists for this game whereby cards that make up a winning hand on the initial deal are automatically held for the player.
Click ‘Deal’ to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold.

The lowest winning combination is a pair of Tens: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Nines) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Jacks) is a winning combination.

Doubling

If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (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 win. 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, you win double the amount of your original winnings. 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 using half of your winning amount, and deposit the rest into your balance.

In each separate game you are subject to a dynamic Double limit, based on the size of your original win. The maximum amount you will be allowed to double will be displayed in the ‘Double-Up Limit’ box. You will not be allowed to wager any amount greater than the displayed limit.

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.
