Dual Action Poker is based on a straightforward principle: players score their final hands on two separate pay tables, resulting in payouts based on both. One pay table follows a deuces wild format while the other operates on jacks-or-better rules. To participate in this feature, players are required to double their usual bet.
Example
In the previous hand, my three of a kind compared against both pay tables. From the Bonus Poker Deluxe pay table on the left, I received a payout of 15 coins, and from the Deuces Wild pay table on the right, I earned 5 coins, culminating in a total win of 20 coins.
