Tens or Better is one of the video poker variations, which is played between the player and the dealer. You receive five cards and you have to decide which of these cards you want to hold and which to discard. Instead of cards you decide to throw away you will get the same number of new cards from the deck. If you have a hand which is stronger than that of the dealer you win. Be aware that the lowest winning hand is a Pair of Tens. Tens or Better Video Poker is based on the game of Jacks or Better, which is the basis for all video poker variations. As in any video poker game you have several betting options available. You also have the choice of making a 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x (5x being the max bet) bet per hand. Online Draw Poker High Cards.
