Double Bonus Video Poker

Double Bonus video poker is almost identical to the most popular video poker game on the market, Jacks or Better. The biggest difference is that four aces pay off a much bigger percentage than on regular Jacks or Better. You will see this reflected on the pay schedule. To a lesser degree, any other four of a kind is paid handsomely on this game.

For those unfamiliar with Jacks or Better video poker, let me give a very basic overview. This video poker game is played like standard draw poker, with five dealt cards and one redraw.

Hand	Payoff
Royal flush	4000 to 1
Four aces	800 to 1
Four 2's, 3's, or 4's	400 to 1
Straight flush	250 to 1
Four 5's through kings	250 to 1
Full house	50 to 1
Flush	35 to 1
Straight	25 to 1
Three of a kind	15 to 1
Two pair	5 to 1
Jacks or better	5 to 1
