 |  Jacks or Better
Poker, traditionally a table game, has become very popular in the video poker format. With the advent of online casino games the demand for video poker has skyrocketed.
The first video poker game was simply called Draw Poker. The first payoff was for two pair, resulting in only about 85% maximum payback, so it got very little extended play. In response, the manufacturer modified the game to return the player's bet on a pair of jacks or better. This accomplished two things: it turned a push (no exchange of money) into an apparent win, and it increased the maximum payback to about 99.5%. This combination resulted in the still-popular game now called Jacks or Better, and thus began the video poker revolution.
