Double Double Bonus Poker: how to play, rules & tips
Play Double Double Bonus video poker free on the full 9/6 pay table. It plays like Jacks or Better, but four of a kind pays by rank and kicker, up to 400 for four Aces with a 2, 3 or 4.
How to play Double Double Bonus
You're dealt five cards. Choose which to hold, then draw replacements for the rest. Your final hand is paid from the table below; a pair of Jacks or better is the lowest paying hand.
What makes Double Double Bonus different is the quads. Four Aces, or four 2s, 3s or 4s, pay much more, and even more again with the right fifth card (the kicker).
