How the Game Plays

Royal Court by Red Rake Gaming is a specialized variant of video poker that builds on the classic Jacks or Better foundation. The game features a polished, regal interface where the objective is to form the best possible five-card poker hand. It begins with an initial deal of five cards; you then select which cards to hold before a final draw replaces the discarded ones. Payouts start at a pair of Jacks or higher, but the game is distinguished by its unique paytable that places extra value on the "Royal Court" itself—the Jacks, Queens, and Kings.

Special Features Explained

The standout mechanic in this version is the boosted payout for specific combinations. While standard video poker treats all Four of a Kind hands similarly (depending on the variant), Royal Court offers significantly higher rewards for obtaining Four of a Kind consisting of Jacks, Queens, or Kings. This adds a layer of strategy to the hold phase, as the potential returns for these face-card quads are much higher than standard numbered quads.

Multi-Hand and Gamble Mechanics

To increase the pace, the game allows for multi-hand play, enabling you to play up to 50 hands simultaneously from a single initial deal. Each winning hand also offers access to a "Double or Nothing" gamble mini-game. In this feature, you must correctly guess whether a face-down card is higher or lower than the dealer's card to multiply your current winnings.
