Is there a Double Bonus single line game here?

Post by Forbin »

I was looking for a single line Double Bonus game and have only found a 3 line version in the Super Times Pay Poker. If the site does have a single line version what category would it be under? Thanks

The strategy for double bonus is very much like 9/6 JOB with some small variations. For instance if you had a pair of aces and a pair of fives, you would only hold on to the aces for a shot at the 800 coins that four aces would get you.

I think you should look at the strategies again. The strategy for double bonus is a lot different than that for JOB, and a lot harder to learn, as well.

That is correct for 9/7 double bonus. But, if you're lucky enough to find a 10/7 machine, drawing to the two pair is a superior play, due to the higher full house payout.

My mistake for not being specific, I was talking about 8/5 double bonus

Check out Linda Boyd's comments on 8/5 double bonus on youtube.

According to the videopoker tutorial holding the two aces only is the correct play in 8/5 double bonus.

My comments were relevant to 9/7 and 10/7 double bonus, the only double bonus variants I've ever played. The 8/5 version, with a return of 94.18%, is totally foreign to me, and will continue that way.
