Double Bonus Poker Plus

Introduction

I came across Double Bonus Poker Plus, a variant of video poker on IGT Game King machines at the Hard Rock hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. This game is unique because it rewards players with extra payouts for specific four-of-a-kind hands if the four cards are sequential. I’ve heard that IGT has stopped distributing this game, but there are still some old machines in circulation, particularly outside the U.S. Moreover, I have an unreliable source suggesting that Texas Station in Las Vegas has this game available somewhere.


The following table provides a summary of the returns for various recognized pay tables.

Strategy Tip

Currently, I’m not aware of any software capable of generating strategies for card games where the sequence of cards matters. Nevertheless, adapting strategies based on the position of cards only offers a mere 0.01% advantage. For a nearly perfect strategy, consider using a strategy creator, such as the one I’ve developed. video poker strategy calculator To begin, choose Double Bonus as the selected game. Next, input the average payout for four of a kind hands. Specifically, this includes 256 for four aces and 112 for four 2s, 3s, and 4s.

Below are the comprehensive return tables for all recognized pay tables.
