Rules for Playing Double Bonus Poker

This is then where any desired number of those cards can then be held or discarded. The cards that are chosen to be held should be cards that may potentially form high ranking poker hands. More cards will be dealt to replace those that were discarded and those cards will form the final five card hand. If any winning poker values are present then the pay table will display the pay out. A cash out feature is available to cash out and claim the credits at any time.
