For the cards that you have decided to hold but you later find them unworthy to retain, press the ‘hold/cancel’ button twice; and that will automatically delete the card that was initially held.
4. Ensure that the cards that you are holding are displayed on the screen. This will ensure that the cards that are displayed are the right ones that you have chosen and are recognized by the machines that you are playing for them.
5. For the cards that you reject, press the draw deal button below them to get replacements. Ensure that your combination is smart. Keep rejecting and repeating this process on the cards that you are not interested in until all your favorites are determined.
