super double bonus video poker Introduction
super double bonus poker is a very interesting variation of video poker. It plays a lot like Double Bonus games and the payout for four aces is 800 in this game, which is equal to a Double Bonus game. Additionally, the game pays 400 on four 2s, 3s and 4s, while four 5s through 10s pay you 250.
super double bonus video poker offers you 1 to 1 on a two pair like Double Bonus games. However, four Jacks, Queens or Kings will earn you a high 600 as compared to the 250 paid by double bonus games. Additionally, you can make 400 coins on a straight flush, unlike the 250 earned in Double Bonus games. This is possible as the game returns around 9 to1 on full houses, 5 to 1 on flushes and 4 to 1 on straights, on its full-pay variation. On the other hand, the highest paying variant in full-pay Double Bonus is the 10-7-5 pay table.
The basic strategy of this game is simple. You need to make the best possible winning hand from the cards you are dealt. The payout on your hand will vary depending on the pay structure displayed on the machine.

The game is played like other video poker games, wherein you will be dealt 5 cards from a 52-card deck by the dealer or the machine. You can decide to keep or discard any of the cards or all of them. And, you would get a replacement card for the cards you discard. The payout is made after the machine indicates a winning hand on the video screen. The hands should be played based on their corresponding payouts displayed on your screen. You would want to find out the pay line of the winning cards before you start playing.
When you have decided which cards to discard and which ones to keep, you have to press the ‘hold’ button on the video screen, followed by the ‘draw’ button. In certain cases, the hold and draw buttons are combined. When you have pressed the draw button, you will receive your payout if you have a winning hand.
The betting is done with 1-5 coins. If you are looking to make the maximum winnings, you should bet with the maximum of 5 coins. The payouts for a winning hand will vary depending on the number of coins you have bet.
