Pick ‘Em Poker is a Video Poker game which is a modified version of the Jacks or Better paytable, but uses a unique game system. Unlike other Video Poker games, when the player places a wager playing Pick ‘Em Poker only 4 cards will be dealt. The two cards on the left are non-changeable and are part of the final hand. The player is then given the choice to keep one of the two cards on the right. After the player has selected the card that they will keep, the other card is removed and two new cards are dealt to complete the hand.
