BONUS FEATURE – Double or Nothing
When you win a hand in 5-Hand Video Poker you are then given the chance to double your winnings. Click on the flashing Double button to go to the bonus game.
The aim of the game is to select a card with a higher value than the initial card. Click on any of the remaining four cards to turn it over.
If the card you choose has a higher value than the initial card, your winnings are doubled. You can then decide to play again by clicking the Double button or you can collect your winnings by clicking the Collect button. Clicking the Collect button will then bring you back to 5-Hand Video Poker.
You may continue playing the bonus game until your winnings exceed £1000.00, at which time you will automatically be cashed out and returned to 5-Hand Video Poker.
