Pick'em Video Poker

Pick'em is very different from a regular video poker game. In this game you are dealt two cards starting on the left and then 2 stacks of cards. Each stack contains 3 cards.

You can only hold on one of the two stacks. The single cards cannot be discarded. Choose between the 2 stacks to give you the best hand based on the card on top of the stacks and the 2 cards on the left.

Once you choose and draw, the stack you didn't choose is discarded and the stack you held will spread and display the other cards underneath You won't know what's under the top card of the stack until you choose and draw.

The rate table starts with: a pair of nines or better, two pair, 3 of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, and Royal Flush.

This can be a frustrating game particularly when the same kind of card is on top of both stacks and you have to discard one of them. Not knowing what is beneath the top card makes this more a game of chance than skill.

A deck of 52 cards is used and the deck is reshuffled each hand. You can bet from 1 to 5 coins per hand and you have 5 coin denominations to choose from: 5¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1 and $5.
