2 Types of Video Poker
Double Bonus Video Poker
As the name signifies, Double Bonus Video Poker pays double the bonus which is commonly found on the Bonus Poker games. What this indicates is that you will be given twice the value of that particular win. On most of the Double Bonus Video Poker games, the bonus pays are almost exactly the same as on Bonus Poker machines, indicating 2s, 3s, and 4s four-of-a-kind and 4 Aces. But instead of paying only 200 coins "maximum coin bet" for these winners, on the Double Bonus game you will receive 400 coins for exactly the same hand. And, for the 4 Aces, instead of 400 coins for the winner on Bonus Poker, on Double Bonus poker machine the winner will receive 800 coins (maximum coins bet.).
Double Double Bonus and Bonus-Aces Video Poker
This is a version of the Double Bonus Video Poker game, where the four Aces pay extra payoffs in certain combinations with other cards.
For example, Sigma game manufacturers have a Double Double Bonus Bonus-Aces game, which is a 10/6 program. On this game, if you hit four aces with any other face card, King, Queen, or Jack, you will be paid twice the double bonus. In this case 1,600 coins, since the regular pay on this hand on this machine for the four Aces is 800 coins if hit without the fifth card being the King, Queen, or Jack.
Another version of this is a game made by IGT manufacturing company. This game is typically a 9/6, and pays 2,000 coins for a hit of four Aces with any 2, 3, or 4 as the fifth card. It also pays a range of various extra bonuses for hitting the 2s, 3s, 4s four-of-a-kind when hit any Ace, 2, 3, or 4 as the fifth card. Look at the payoff display on the machine to get the full range of these options, which can vary from machine to machine and from casino to casino.
It is because of all these various differences in Video Poker derivatives and Video Poker bonus games that you must have some of this knowledge and always look at the payoff display to determine exactly what kind of game this is, what program it plays to, and what kinds of hands you must achieve in order to win the various bonus pays. Each version of the Video Poker game requires different playing skills and decisions for holding and throwing away cards initially dealt to you. The best advice I can give you is: No pay is a small Pay.
