How to Play Jackpot Ball Card Game
Jackpot card game is a game in which every participant tries to form the best hand to win. All players have the option to improve their position in the game by improving their hand during the three discard and draw rounds. Whenever a player discards a card, it costs them a point. The player at the end with the best hand wins a number of points based on the total number of cards discarded by each player.
