Video Poker - Games - Double Double Bonus Poker

Double Double Bonus Poker is a variation of Jacks or Better. It offers a top-heavy pay table compared to most video poker games. There are huge bonus pays for quad aces, 2's, 3's, and 4's that get even bigger if the kicker is one of these cards. There is also a double payout for all other four of a kind. In exchange for these big wins, two pair only returns the original bet. Two pair pays 2-1 in Jacks or Better and some other related games.

How to Play Wizard of Vegas Double Double Bonus Poker

Double Double Bonus starts with the player choosing the number of coins to wager. It is recommended that you play five coins per hand. This gives the bonus payout on a royal flush of 800-1, as opposed to 250-1 for bets of four coins or less.

The Wizard of Vegas Double Double Bonus game offers two buttons that are used for betting; "Bet One" and "Bet Max". The "Bet One" button will increase the wager by one coin until it gets to five. In a casino, some video poker machines would immediately deal once it reaches five. Our machine will reset the bet back to one if the "Bet One" button is clicked again once reaching five coins.

Once the desired bet amount is reached, click the "Deal" button to receive cards. The "Bet Max" button will automatically make a five coin wager and deal the cards.

Once the bet has been made, five cards are dealt. You may click the cards that you wish to keep or use the keyboard shortcuts of C, V, B, N, and M to choose cards from left to right. If you click a card by mistake, the decision may be changed by clicking it again.

If you run out of chips or prefer a bigger balance then the screen may be reloaded. This will reset the number of coins to 1,000.
