Super
Double
Bonus Video Poker is one of my favorite Triple or Five
multi-hand VP games.
Who wouldn’t smile with a
600-coin
award when given 3 or 5
attempts at it?
Deal me three Kings, Queens
or Jacks
in the bottom row with a fourth in any or all of the other
lines or let’s get very greedy and just deal the quad
outright for an easy hold.
Another feature is
that respect is paid
to the straight flush with a better-than-average payout of 400 coins.
This 8/5
full paytable definitely aims to please the
‘high card’ set.
8/5 refers to an 8
coin return for a full-house when betting one-coin and 5
coin return for a
flush.
The paytable below
illustrates the
payout for specific winning
hands, one coin return payout and maximum coin return payout.

The average

This percentage is
maintained with maximum coins per hand at
a ‘full-pay’ machine with perfect strategy.
Super
Double
Bonus Strategy:
While
you are on constant watch for face cards, you should also be
concentrating on
straight flush possibilities for the higher payout value of 400 coins.
- As
the full-house pay of 40 coins is lower with this version, I go for
holding one pair only when dealt two pair of face cards. A small risk,
in my opinion, for the 600-coin award.
- This
same small risk applies if dealt two pair and only one is Jacks+.
- Two
non-paying pairs (both less than Jacks+) must be held for the sure
payout.
- Let’s not forget that Aces
offer a fine return of 800 coins and should not be ignored in your
quest for quad faces.
Until next we meet, may
all your VP
choices turn out to be
‘Royalty’ or ‘Royalty Quads’.
