This is like asking where to find fleas on a dog...    Double double bonus is the most popular video poker game of all.   If you like losing 90% of the time, you'll love it.

Should be more like where can't you find it. High variance game. Fun, win big lose big. Good luck when you play.

If a casino does not have any Double Double Bonus games in a jurisdiction that allows video poker, the slot manager should be fired.

On Horseshoe Tunica and Tunica Roadhouse's All Star II machines failed to put DDB on their Super Times Pay and Double STP games when they got them in Fall 2013. Those machines have suffered in play ever since they had them. Basically they act like Ultimate X boxes (which does have DDB).

Outstanding responses! The poster should take note of it.

At my closest local casino I am amazed at how management preys on the popularity of DDB, but the people drive it. Their quarter DDB is 7/5, yet you can get 6/5 SDDB (super double double bonus) right next to it. Yup, all lemmings playing DDB at almost a 2% worse return.

It's set that way on nickel games in STL and the Vegas Strip as well. CET properties offer 10-nickel games with 6/5 SDDB, their best game by a good margin because they don't offer 6/5 Bonus on those games.

I typically see people play DDB vs Super DDB on those games by at least a 4 or 5 to 1 ratio.

If I ran a casino, DDB would not be my best payback offering. I know people will play it regardless of the paytable I gave.

DDB here in Vegas has been very brutal over the last few weeks. Average 85% of the hands have been losing hands or break even. Between my wife and I have blown through several thousands of dollars on single line nickels over the last 3 weeks, and the best hand either of us can hit is a Four 5 - Ks about every 2000 hands on average. Anything above that is pretty much out of the question. Not even a rat Four 2s,3s,4s. And this is on 9/6 DDB on over a dozen different machines at 7 different casinos.  It is a fun game, but I'm starting to think that some bastid found a way to manipulate the RNG and still be in compliance with the gaming regulations out here.

DDB can be a cruel master.  What got me to quit DDB was a three day Biloxi trip where I went a whole day and a half without a quad.  All the rest were 250 coins.  Anyone who would play 7/5 or 6/5 DDB longer than 10 minutes is asking for it.  8/5 is bad enough...
