The basic game strategy of this game is simple. You need to make a winning hand, which includes a tens or better hand in this game. Basically, you will be dealt 5 cards from a 52-card deck by the dealer or the machine. You can either choose to keep or discard any of the cards or all of them. For the discarded cards, you will receive replacement cards at the draw. The payout is made after the machine indicates a winning hand on the video screen. In a few casinos, the machine may not indicate a winning hand. You can refer with the pay table for the list of winning hands. The hands are played based on their corresponding payouts displayed on your screen. You would want to find out the pay line of the winning cards before you start playing.
When you have decided which cards to discard and which ones to keep, you have to press the ‘hold’ button on the video screen, followed by the ‘draw’ button. In certain cases, the hold and draw buttons are combined. When you have pressed the draw button, you will receive your payout if you have a winning hand.
The betting is done with a minimum of 1 coin and a maximum of 5 coins. The payouts for a winning hand will vary depending on the number of coins you have bet. You can choose to bet with 1 coin or the maximum of 5 coins for each hand. The value of the wager will vary from 25 cents to 5 dollars. Your wager will depend on how confident you are about winning the game. Ideally, you can start off with 50 cent coins or you can play with chips of 50 cents initially while gradually moving on to a 1 dollar wager. This can be done by hitting the increase/decrease coins option on the machine.
