Double Double Bonus
Double Double Bonus starts from Double Bonus's rank-split four-of-a-kind tiers and adds a kicker rule: certain four-of-a-kind hands pay a further bonus when a specific card lands alongside them as the fifth card — four aces with a two, three or four kicker is the best-known example. The same four of a kind without that kicker still pays the ordinary Double Bonus rate for its rank.
It is a well-documented fact of the genre that this variant is the most widely spread video poker game in physical casinos, which is exactly why the kicker rule is worth knowing before you sit down to one, on a screen or off it.

Unlike Jacks or Better's tidy 9/6-to-6/5 ladder, Double Double Bonus does not reduce to one verified number here — its return depends on the exact combination of pay-table settings a machine runs more than any other variant in this family, and no single schedule has been checked against a cited source in this session. The paytable screen on the machine is the only reliable source for what a specific game pays.

The Kicker Changes What to Hold
A kicker rule means the fifth card in your hand is no longer just a discard candidate — keeping the right one beside a made four of a kind, or drawing toward one, can be worth holding onto rather than drawing a fresh card. The strategy page covers the general idea of optimal play; a kicker-aware chart is the one adjustment Jacks or Better's does not need.

Not stated as a single figure here — it varies more with the exact pay table than any other variant in this family, and no specific schedule has been checked against a cited source yet. Check the machine's own paytable screen.
The kicker rule creates a real jackpot moment inside an otherwise ordinary hand — four aces with the right kicker pays far more than a plain four of a kind — which is widely credited as the reason it spread further than Jacks or Better on real casino floors.
