Bonus Poker

Bonus Poker is the smallest step away from Jacks or Better: the same hand ranking, the same no-wild-cards rule, the same pair-of-jacks floor — with one boosted payout line for four of a kind. It is the base layer that Double Bonus and Double Double Bonus each build further on.

That boosted quad payout is not free: the full house and flush lines both sit below where they would on an equivalent Jacks or Better table, the same trade every bonus-quad variant in this family makes in its own way.

Jacks or Better's ranking, with a single change: four of a kind pays more, and the full house and flush pay for it.

No Verified Return Yet

There is a real trade here — a richer quad payout against a thinner full house and flush — but no figure for it, because Bonus Poker has no independently verified RTP on this site yet. Whether that trade favours the player depends on both sides of it, which is exactly the kind of number that has to come from the screen in front of you, not from a page about a different game.

Where It Sits in the Family

Bonus Poker is the first rung of the "bigger quads, smaller full house" ladder that also includes Double Bonus and Double Double Bonus — each one pushes the trade further. The strategy page covers why a boosted four-of-a-kind line changes what a hand is worth to hold toward.

Bonus Poker FAQs

One line: four of a kind pays more. Everything else — the minimum paying hand, the lack of wild cards, the rest of the ranking — is the same as Jacks or Better.

It depends entirely on the specific pay table of each machine, which is not verified here for Bonus Poker — the boosted quad line is offset by a lower full house and flush, and which trade wins depends on the exact numbers on each screen.

No. Double Bonus splits the four-of-a-kind payout further by card rank; Bonus Poker uses one boosted line for any four of a kind.
