Games Like Jacks are Better

One hand. The whole floor plays it.

Jacks are Better is a roguelike built on video poker. You are dealt five cards and you hold what you like. Then every machine on your floor plays the same hand, draws on its own, and pays on its own. Three machines on the first night, up to a hundred by the last.

Twelve nights, one quota each

Every night the house wants coins, and the number climbs. Six to nine deals a night, three favors to spend on a redeal or multiplier, and a cash-out the moment the quota is covered. Miss it and the house floats you a marker. Miss it again and that night was your last.

Build the floor between nights

Comps are what the floor earns you beyond the quota, and the shop takes them.
