8/5
Bonus Poker: pays 2 for 2 pair, four aces pays 400
and four 2’s, 3’s or 4’s pays 200.
10/7
Double Bonus Poker: 10/7 refers to 10 coins for a
full house and 7 coins for a flush as per one coin payout. Pays 1 for 2
pair,
four aces pays 800. This is the best Bonus VP version.
9/6
or 9/5 Double Double Bonus Poker: pays 1 for 2
pair, four aces pays 2000 when fifth card is either a 2, 3 or 4,
otherwise pays
800.
8/5
Double Jackpot Poker: 2 pair pays 2, four aces
pays 400, four kings queens and jacks pay 200. There are also extra
bonuses for
four aces with KQJ and four kings, queens and jacks with AKQJ fifth
card. This
version is also known as Aces and Faces.
9/6 Double
Double
Jackpot Poker:
which is the better
play, pays 1 for 2 pair, four aces pay 800, four kings queens and jacks
pay
400. Again, extra bonus points are awarded for a certain fifth card
with four
aces, kings, queens and/or jacks.
Keep
in mind that because of the higher payouts for top hands, the pair
and two pair pays are often the same--1 coin rather than 2 plus other
paying
hands like straights and flushes are reduced.
Let’s explore
multi-hand
versions, the most exciting
and innovative Video Poker trend ever.

All Players Welcome
Multi-Hand
Video Poker Versions:
I’m
sure you know the multi-hand drill by now. As with
standard video poker, you’re dealt five cards, you may hold from zero
to all
five. The cards you keep appear in all the other hands as you
discard/deal.
Multi-hand VP can feature three,
five, ten, fifty, even one
hundred hands per bet.
Versions available online and
land-based include, but are
not limited to Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker,
Double-Double
Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild and Joker Poker.
The quarter, five play version bet is
$6.25 per spin, ($1.25
x 5 = $6.25).
I also suggest play at sky-high
progressive Royals on any
individual hand or, even better, when you are dealt a Royal for a total
return
that will leave you reeling.
Now, that’s what I call multiple
rewards.
Strategies for
Multi-hand
games are
the same as any
particular single payline version and you should continue to practice
optimum
strategy.
