Power poker differs from standard video poker in that from the start you are given four identical hands. At the start of each hand, only the first hand appears to you, while the other three hands are with the cards facing down. At this point, the game continues as standard video poker. However, you will notice that when you choose to hold a card, the three identical cards are revealed in the other hands. If you choose to lift the holding of a card, these three identical cards are turned so that they are left with the photo side down. Once you have selected which cards you want to keep, click the Draw button (pull). Thus, you will be given new cards as a replacement for those you threw, and the other hands will be revealed.
