nevada bonus video poker
nevada bonus poker is not played in all casinos and is extremely rare. In this game, a premium is paid if you have three and four aces.
The basic game strategy of nevada bonus video poker is the same as other video poker games. The dealer or the machine will deal you 5 cards. Any of these cards or all of them can be discarded by the player based on his choice of hand. If he has decided on which cards to keep, he will have to click the ‘hold’ button. On hitting the ‘draw’ button, the cards that the player discarded will be replaced with new cards. The new hand formed with the new cards will be the player’s final hand. The machine will determine the payout based on the winning card that the player has. The base payout system followed in most sites is shown below. There are two variants of nevada bonus poker – the 9/7 and the 10/8. The payouts for each variant are listed in the tables.

One of the major drawbacks of this game is its low returns. Although it can compare with many other video poker games in the payouts, it offers the lowest returns among all the double bonus games. In general, the payout for 10/8/5 is 200:1 for quad Aces and 100:1 for a straight flush, 25:1 for all other quads and 6:1 for three Aces. The returns are 97% and 98.78% for the two variants.
nevada bonus video poker is played like Jack and Better. However, the only difference is in the payout for three and four aces as shown in the tables. You should look to make the best winning hand possible based on the ranking of the hands listed in the table. The betting is done with a maximum of 5 coins, and for the best returns, you would want to bet with the maximum whenever you are playing.
