The aim of draw poker is to make the best possible five-card poker hand to win the round. When betting opens, select your bet from the chips displayed and place it on the PLAY bet spot. When the betting time closes, your dealer will give you five initial cards.

You can discard any or all of the five initial cards and be dealt new cards to replace them. Once the timer runs out, unselected cards are discarded, and the dealer deals out five additional cards. 

The new cards will automatically replace any discarded cards, and your final five-card hand is paid according to the paytable.
