Most online casinos spend more effort trying to separate you from your money than they do trying to give you a good experience. They have all kinds of popup windows, they usually make you download their software, and if do they offer play-in-browser games then you have to register an account before you can play. And if you do register then they start sending you emails trying to get you to deposit real money.
But Bodog is different. They have no popup windows at all, and their practice games play right in your browser, with no download, and no registration required. You don't even have to give up your email address. It couldn't be simpler: Just one click and you're playing the game.
I wish all online casinos showed this much respect for their players. Other casinos practically ask for your first born child to play for free. Meanwhile Bodog is patient and does not twist anybody's arm to play for real money. You can play as long as you like for free with no obligation. The real-money games are available if that's your preference, but if not, you can play the free practice games for as long as you like without hassle. (Visit Bodog)

About this game.
Initial bankroll is $1000 and all bets are $5 (maximum coins played). The paytable is Full-Pay 9/6, same as in the Bodog screenshot below. The advice feature will give you the correct advice for every situation. The program will let you know when you don't make the best play.
You can also play this more realistic Jacks or Better game for free at Bodog, with NO download, NO registration required, and WITHOUT giving up your email address:
Royal Flush Club
In April 2006 I added a feature in which if you hit a royal flush the game will pause for ten seconds, play some music, and will give you will get a secret word. Please be patient if you had hope for a royal and the game pauses, you probably hit a royal. If you do hit a royal then send me an e-mail with the secret word for membership into the Royal Flush Club. It may take up to two months for your name to appear. The first ten members received free books, sorry but there are none left.
