A dog with a card pops up whenever the dealer symbol falls on the middle reel. This card is then added to the poker hand under the reels. Once seven cards are dealt, a bonus is triggered if your hand is a jack or better. Five of these seven cards are then chosen to make the best hand, which can lead to big wins.
If you know your poker, then you will know that the best and most rewarding hand is a Royal Flush. Therefore, as you have probably guessed, this is the hand that you are after here as it will reward you with 100x your stake.

If you hand reveals a Flush, you will win 35x your stake, while a straight will earn you 25x your wager. 3-of-a-Kind, Two Pairs and Jacks or Better will see you win 10x, 4x, and 2x your stake.
