Jacks Or Better

Classic-style video poker game created for the Pico-8. Payouts follow the most popular "6/9 Jacks or better" win table, meaning flush pays 6 times the bet and full house pays 9 times the bet. There is also a fixed jackpot of 4000 with royal flush and 5 coin bet.

The game features a visual payout table that updates based on the player's bet amount (or wager). Winning hands are highlighted, and for those lucky enough to hit a royal flush with a maximum bet, a celebratory jackpot fireworks display lights up the screen! Good luck seeing that! 👍

Since this game is video poker, I couldn't resist using a crt filter. So, for best experience play full screen.
