Double Double Bonus is a video poker game based on Bonus Poker, which is in turn a variation of Jacks or Better. Double Double Bonus offers a higher payout percentage for four of a kind. The player is dealt five cards and can then choose which cards to keep or discard. New cards are dealt accordingly. The final hand must consist of a pair of Jacks or better in order to win.
The game varies from other video poker games in that the payout percentages are higher for paired hands. The minimum payout is a pair of Jacks or Better or two pair is a push (meaning that you get your wager back, nothing more). The payout for four aces is 800 coins per 5 coin wager and 2000 coin per 5 coin wager if the hand also includes a 2, 3, or 4. The best version has 9 coins per coin wagered payout for the full house (45 coins per 5 coin wager) and 6 coins for the flush, though some rare machines will offer 10 coins per coin wagered for the full hours, providing an expected return of over 100%.
Famous quotes containing the word double:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
