Bonus Poker
Bonus Poker is a game of draw poker. The player receives five cards from the dealer; the player then chooses which of the cards to keep or "hold" and then discards the remaining cards for new ones by pressing deal.
The final hand is determined a winning hand if the player has a pair of Jacks or better.
The more coins or credits that you play the higher the payouts on winning hands. In order to win the Royal Flush prize in Bonus Poker you must play the maximum number of coins. Just check the payout table on the machine for complete payout information. You will also see the special pay lines in the pay table for a 4 of a kind.
