Here's a few potential solutions I could offer, off the top of my head of course.
1) Deal the cards face down and ask the user to perform a unique action to show the cards.
- Multiple problems here. But it has potential, especially combined with same jackpot...gamificate it. Def would make it a bit harder for bot-rings.
However, whatever reverse turing test you implement, it would have to be very easy for a human being to solve, and such test will always be solvable by skilled vc programmer.

With OCR, it is easy to read the text and do the right action for a bot. If you make the text harder to interpret, bots would fail maybe more often than humans, but humans will fail too...
"To see the your hand and participate in Anti-Jackbot,
do not left click and swipe the community card area with your mouse.", but i am sure some gaming experts could come up with better stuff

if bot can't solve antijackbot it will try to stay calm and call bot-operate for help.

it will simply never brute force,or sometimes brute force like a human would

Again, trivial for ocr and and bot to solve, probably more easy than for most humans.

"Not too often" is probably not working, simply alert operator for solving the puzzle, as probably being done now.

Will never work. trivial to get whitelisted IPs for your bot. Especially for technical skilled people like a bot operator.
