Selecting Hands
All American Multihand Poker will always play a one-hand game unless you intervene. Note that when you place a bet on All American Multihand Poker your stake amount is accepted on a PER HAND basis. The more hands you have selected the greater the amount you need to stake. For example, if you have 10 hands selected and you stake £1, the overall stake amount will be £10. Use the Hands Button (+/-) to reduce/increase the number of hands you will play in the forthcoming game of All American Multihand Poker.
Placing a Stake
You must place a stake before a game of All American Multihand Poker can be played. Once the number of hands you want to play have been selected it is time to decide how much money to stake on each of them. Remember that stakes are accepted on a per hand basis. To increase, or decrease, the amount you are going to bet on each hand, click the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons in the Stake box. The total stake amount for your forthcoming All American Multihand Poker game will be Stake multiplied by the number of hands you have chosen to play. For example, if you select £2 in the Stake box and you decide to play 20 hands then the total amount that will be staked on the next game will be £40. This is shown in the Total Bet box.
Dealing and general play
All American Multihand Poker plays with a main hand and however many other hands you have selected. For example, if you are playing a three-hand game there will be a main hand (displayed above the Deal Button) and two additional hands displayed above the main hand. The main hand is bigger than other hands and is always the hand you play with. Whatever actions are applied to the main hand are ALWAYS duplicated on other hands.
The game uses one deck per hand which is reshuffled after each game.
Click the Deal Button to confirm your bet and turn over the first five cards.
At this point you need to decide whether to hold or discard cards in the main hand. To hold a card click on it. When you have clicked on all the cards you want to hold click the Deal Button again. Note, this will automatically discard any cards not held and these cards are replaced automatically in ALL hands. To "unhold" a card click it again.
The cards you now have are your final hands. These may qualify for a payout based on the paytable shown to the right of the cards. If they don't you lose your stake money. The winnings from all of your hands (if any) are added together to make a total win amount for the game. If you are entitled to a cash prize the Collect Button will blink. Click the Collect Button to automatically add the win amount to your account balance.
The Gamble Feature

When you have made your choice click on a face-down card, which then turns over and reveals its value. If the card you have chosen has a higher value your prize money is doubled and a new game of All American Multihand Poker begins. You are then invited to click the Deal Button again.
Note: You are only permitted to use the gamble feature four times per session.
