Double Bonus
Double Bonus keeps Jacks or Better's hand ranking and no-wild-cards rule — a pair of jacks or better is still the floor — and changes one thing: four of a kind is no longer a single payout line. It splits by rank, with aces paying the most, a middle tier for twos through fours, and the lowest tier for fives through kings.
That extra generosity on quads is paid for elsewhere on the card: the full house and flush lines both sit lower than they do on a Jacks or Better table of the same general quality.
No Verified Return Yet

Splitting the four-of-a-kind payout by rank moves the math enough that a Jacks or Better figure would be a guess, not a citation — and a guess is exactly what this reference refuses to print. The pay table on the machine screen is the only number that actually applies.

One Step Further
Double Double Bonus takes the same idea further, adding a kicker rule on top of the rank split — a specific fifth card sitting alongside certain four-of-a-kind hands pays substantially more again. The strategy page covers why a bonus-quad variant needs its own chart rather than Jacks or Better's.

It pays for the richer four-of-a-kind tiers. Video poker pay tables are a fixed sum in practice — a game that pays more on one hand pays less somewhere else, or its overall return would simply be higher across the board.
No. Double Double Bonus adds a kicker rule on top of Double Bonus's rank-split quads — a specific fifth card can raise the payout again. They are related, layered games, not two names for one.
