Bonus Poker Deluxe - Free Video Poker
Bonus Poker Deluxe Instructions
Bonus Poker Deluxe is similar to the Bonus Poker game that is found here. The only difference is that all 4 of a Kind combinations will pay 80 to 1 on your wager.
This is a major bonus and you should always go after the 4 of a Kind by holding any pair that you receive except in the following situations: When you already have a made hand, or when you are one card away from an outside straight draw or flush.
Because this is a major bonus hand, there is an equally large payout reduction. The 2 Pair will only receive even money; that is you will only receive back the money that you have wagered when you receive two pairs. That means the three of a kind will be the minimum hand for actually winning money from your bet.
There is one hand that is tough to make a decision on in this game. If you receive 2 Pair in your first 5 cards, do you go for the full house or do you drop a pair and try to go for a 3 of a Kind? I would say that you should keep the two pairs if you do not have a pair of Jacks or higher.
Here's the math on this problem: You will have about a 1 in 12 chance of receiving a Full House in this scenario. You will have a little more than a 1 in 5 chance to receive the 3 of a Kind by dropping a pair.
As with most of these video poker games, there is a bonus side game that is available after you receive a winning hand. This double or nothing game works the same as most of the others. You should only play this bonus game once, and only if you have won even money on the bet.
You will receive 5 news cards; the first one will be face up. You have to pick an equal or higher ranked card out of the four remaining cards in order to win this game. The game is easy to win if the first card is a 2, 3 or 4. It is much harder to win if the first card is a Queen, King or Ace.
