Tens
or Better Basics
One more
variant on the popular game Jacks or Better. As you perhaps have guessed
a pair of Tens or better pays. The increased payout on the tens are taken
from a reduced payout for a full house or a flush.

Basic strategy for Tens or Better
I have listed the strategy for Tens or Better below.
This strategy applies
to both the standard/normal paytable and the reduced cryptologic and Playtech
paytable. "High Card" indicates Ten to Ace. 3 to a straight flush
hands are ranked according to "High Cards - Gaps". High Cards is
the number of cards ranked Ten to Ace. Gaps is the number of breaks in the
straight. For example, the hand 9TJ has a "High Cards - Gaps" ranking
of 2 since there are 2 high cards and no gaps. While the hand 468 has a ranking
of -2 since there are no high cards and two gaps.
