Expert opinion

The various types of video poker playing which users can wager on numerous hands simultaneously (up to one hundred hands) don't impress nowadays, since they can be found at most major online casinos. But when such an opportunity is offered in the form of reels, which are common primarily for slots, the game can draw attention. Such a model is available in the range of Microgaming. It is called Reel Play Poker - Jacks or Better and differs from other models in its really unique interface.

The gameplay includes the following stages:

Interface

The large fragment of the interface of Reel Play Poker - Jacks or Better is occupied by five reels on which the symbols in the form of cards are placed in three rows. The control panel has many buttons. There is no sense in explaining their functions, because they are intuitively understandable.
After the beginning of the game the images of five basic cards appear instead of the buttons. You should hold the most valuable cards. All the sectors on the reels are covered with the game logos at this stage. Then the selected cards appear on some of them and new cards are dealt on the others.
Users can choose between two modes of displaying the balance (credits or coins) in this game. It is allowed to activate the quick spin option and adjust audio effects in the settings.

In fact, the presence of reels does not influence significantly Jacks or Better Poker. It's the same multi-hand game. And if you wager only on one payline, it will be the classic Jacks or Better. However such an interface makes this game more convenient (you may disagree with this statement), because now it is not necessary to look at very small cards on twenty boxes.
It does not offer disproportionately increased payouts for the highest hand, so you can play betting on any number of lines using any number of coins. This does not affect the house edge. There is no need to modify the basic strategy playing Reel Play Poker - Jacks or Better.
