Tips for Playing Double Bonus Video Poker

The enhanced 5-for-1 payback on straights in Double Bonus means you should try for inside straight draws that you otherwise wouldn't bother with on other video poker games. By holding the 6-8-9-10 of mixed suits, you'll have a 4-in-47 chance of pulling one of the four 7s to complete a straight. The average return is 2.13 coins per five wagered. And since flushes pay 7-for-1 in this game, your next best option is to hold the three hearts, with an average return of 1.82 coins.

If you're playing on a Double Bonus machine where straights pay only 4-for-1, we don't recommend playing at that pay table, but if you play anyway, keep in mind that the expert strategy changes with the pay table. On 9-6-4 Double Bonus, the average return for keeping the pair of 2s holds up at 4.08 coins, but the average return for holding 2-3-4-5 plummets to 3.4 coins. If you want the most from the game, you should change your play according to the pay table.

Rules for Double Bonus

Double Bonus Poker follows conventional poker rules concerning how hands are formed. The least winning hand is a pair of jacks. Four of a kind in deuces, threes or fours is payed more than normal, and four of a kind in aces is payed even more.

How to play

Click on the RAISE BET or LOWER BET buttons to set your bet between 1 to 5 coins. The highlighted paytable column corresponds to your bet.

Click DEAL to deal the first hand. Cards that are part of a winning hand are automatically held. You can click the cards you would like to hold or click the corresponding HOLD buttons. You may also unselect a selected card by clicking it or its holdbutton. Once you have chosen the cards you would like to hold, click the DEAL button again to deal the second hand. Winnings are determined by your final hand and are listed in the highlighted column of the paytable.

Double Up

If the Double Up feature is enabled, you have the chance to double your winning.

Each time you get a winning hand, you have the opportunity to bet all or half of your winning in a Double Up game.

Five cards are shown, the first face up and the other four face down. Choose one of the four face down cards. If it is higher than the first card, you will double the part of your winning that you wagered. If not, the money is lost. In case of a tie you keep the money.

You can keep doubling as long as you keep winning.

GOOD LUCK!
