Bonus Video Poker Rules

Premise:

An Multi-Hand Video Poker machine operates like any Video Poker machine found in the casinos throughout the world. Players may play up to ten hands at the same time, and are dealt five cards per hand. The objective is to make the best poker hand possible by holding cards.

One difference, which is greatly favorable for the player, is that you can switch your bet from $0.10 to $5 a game without changing to another machine.

A 52-card deck is used (53 for Joker Poker) for each hand played and is reshuffled after each hand. The different combinations and their respective payoffs for each machine are shown in the Payoff section below. One more variation is the Double Up feature that allows players to double any winnings in a simple "double or nothing" bet at the end of their hand.

Bonus Rules:

In Bonus Video Poker cards that you discard will be shuffled back into the deck prior the final hands being dealt. On the bottom left side of the screen you will see the cards that you have discarded. If those cards are dealt back into any of the hands, then you will win a bonus for each card that returns into play. The total bonus you win will also be displayed in the same area. If you select to play “Double Up”, the bonus amount you have won will be included to the “Double Up” round. You may also play “Double Up” if you did not win any hands, but earned a bonus with returned cards.

To Play

To begin playing Multi-Hand Video Poker select which coin denomination you wish to play - $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $1, $2, or $5. To increase or decrease denominations, please click on the "right arrow" or "left arrow" buttons, respectively, at the top of the Multi-Hand Video Poker machine.

Once you have selected your coin denomination, you need to select the size of your bet. You may click on the "Bet One" button up to the amount of coins you would like to play to a maximum of 5 coins. If you would like to play with the maximum amount of coins (5), you may alternatively choose to simply click the "Bet Max" button.

When you are ready, click on the "Deal" button to distribute the cards. You will be given 5 cards.

The machine uses a 52 card deck (53 for Joker Poker) for each hand played, which is played fresh after each hand.

Hold onto the card(s) that you need in order to achieve the highest ranked poker hand possible. You may hold cards by simply clicking on them. When you do so, the held cards will be displayed with the word HOLD on them. Once you have selected a given amount of cards to hold, click on the "Draw" button. The cards that were not marked HOLD will be replaced. If after this replacement you have any combination of cards that qualifies for a payout, your credit will be increased by the amount of coins shown in the Paid field.

Double Up:

If you have qualified for a payout, the Double Up button will become active. The Double-Up feature offers users the ability to bet their winnings in a simple proposition bet. If the card drawn by player is higher than the card drawn by the dealer, player doubles his winnings. If the cards are the same nothing happens. You can continue to play this double up feature as long as you continue to win.

To change the type of Video Poker machine you are playing, click on "Games" in the menu bar and select the game you would like to play. When you change the game type, your credit and coin denominations will not change.

Progressive Jackpot Games:

Some games offer a progressive jackpot: 25¢ Super Jackpot and $1 Super Jackpot. Unlike regular video poker games, most progressive video poker games operate on a fixed denomination. So, if you are playing 25¢ Super Jackpot and you would like to switch to $1 Super Jackpot, you need to exit the 25¢ Super Jackpot game and then enter the $1 Super Jackpot game. If you are playing a regular video poker game for $2 or $5 and then switch to a progressive video poker game, the denomination and Credits will change to the match the denomination of the game selected. The top payout on a progressive jackpot machine is not fixed as in regular video poker games.
