In the past, Microgaming introduced Power Poker which consisted of multi-hand video poker. The next release was Level Up Poker which involved sequential hands will multiply payouts. Reel Play Poker is a form of video poker with the addition of slots.

How to Access the Game

The first variant of the new format is in the Jacks or Better game which can be accessed within the video poker section of the Games Menu at any Microgaming-powered online casino. In the same section there is a separate tab for Reel Play Poker. In the game, players are required to choose the number of paylines, coins per payline and coin denomination. Jacks or Better Reel Play Poker features 20 paylines with wagers up to 20 coins per payline.

How to Play

Once the betting parameters are set, the player must click the “Deal” button. Below the primary reels, five cards are dealt from a regular deck. The software automatically marks the cards that should be held in conjunction with optimal strategy. Once the player has marked the card he chooses to hold, he is then required to click the “Spin” button which moves the game to the next phased on the main reels.

The Game Blueprint

These reels are outlined like a five reel slot game in there rows. Each reel corresponds to the cards initially held. The remaining reels are filled with other cards. The video poker hands are not evaluated horizontally; instead they are analyzed in all 20 paylines. In essence, the format is similar to a 20 hand video poker game with all hands working together. Hands are formed through the crisscrossing of paylines across the rows.

Payouts

Each payline is independently evaluated against a predetermined pay table based on the number of coins wagered per payline. Therefore, if a player has wagered 10 coins per payline, the pay table will be adjusted with payouts not being multiplied by the total number of coins. The winners from each line are accumulated and credited to the player’s casino balance.

The maximum payout in the game for a royal flush with 20 coins per line is 16,000 coins. Therefore, if all 20 paylines have a royal flush, the maximum possible payout will be 320,000 coins. This new format is sure to draw online video poker and slot game enthusiasts to all Microgaming casinos.
