This page provides the correct strategy for every situation in Double Double bonus video poker. By using the charts on this page you can actually achieve a payout percentage of roughly 100.07% if you're playing at a full pay Double Double bonus machine. My Double Double Bonus strategy was devised for machines using the pay table below. If you're playing a different Double Double Bonus pay table the strategy won't be perfect, but it will still be good.

Please note that to achieve the 100%+ payout percentage, you need to be betting five coins per hand. By betting five coins you'll receive a bonus for all royal flushes, which drastically improves the payout percentage in the long run.

If you want to play with decent strategy and increase your odds without following the full chart below, you should follow the rules listed here. We've identified the most troublesome hands for new players, and advised the correct move for each hand. To use this strategy, play your normal game and make the easy decisions, and if you come upon a tough decision refer to the rules below.

Here is how you should use the chart below:

1. Find your trouble hand on the chart.
2. Follow the chart's recommendation.

Example: Imagine you have Kc-Qc-Jc-Tc-9c. In this case you have a straight flush, but you also have a royal flush draw. By looking at the chart below, you'll see that a straight flush is better than a royal flush draw, so make sure to keep the straight flush and take your payout.

• Royal Flush Draw vs. Pat Straight Flush » Keep the Straight Flush
• Royal Flush Draw vs. Pat Flush » Keep the Royal Flush Draw
• Three of a Kind Aces vs. Full House » Keep the Three Aces
• Three of a Kind (besides Aces) vs. Full House » Keep the Full House
• Pat Straight vs. Four to a Straight Flush » Keep the Straight
• Two Pair vs. a Pair of Aces » Keep the Pair of Aces
• Two Pair vs. any Pair Besides Aces » Keep the Two Pair
• High Pair (Jacks or Better) vs. Four to a Flush » Keep the High Pair
• Four to a Flush vs. Four to a Straight » Keep the Four to a Flush
• High Pair (Jacks or Better) vs. Open Four to Straight » Keep the High Pair
• Open Four to Straight vs. Pair (Twos through Tens) » Keep the Pair
• Inside Straight Draw vs. Discard All » Keep the Straight Draw

Expert Double Bonus Strategy

Here is how you should use the chart below:

1. Start at the top of the chart and work down.
2. When you see a hand that matches up with yours, follow that strategy.

Example: Imagine you have Qs-Js-Ts-3s-Jh. In this case, you'd match up with a few rows on the table below. Your hand would qualify for a high pair of Jacks, a Q-J-T suited with one penalty (the other Jack is a penalty card), and four to a flush. However, on the table you'll notice that Q-J-T suited with one penalty is higher than a four flush or a pair, so you should keep the Q-J-T suited and ditch the four flush and pair.

Here are the ranks for every possible Double Double Bonus hand you can hold before the draw. Remember, find the highest match on the list for your hand and hold those cards. The middle column shows the expected return for the specific hand. In the example column, h = Hearts, s = Spades, c = Clubs, d = Diamonds, T = Ten, s = Suited.

*Penalty cards are any cards which you plan to discard that hurt your chances of completing a draw. For example, if you have 7c-9c-Jc-8s-5h and plan to keep the 7c-9c-Jc, the 8s that you're discarding actually hurts you because there is one less card in the deck that completes your straight. However, it still makes sense to discard the 8s because you have better expected return going for the straight flush than to draw to the inside straight.

Straight (St.) penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a straight. Flush penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a flush. High Pair (HP) penalty cards mean cards that interfere w/ a hand's possibility of making a high pair (a pair Jacks or better).

This past week, I received an order for a copy of our Expert Strategy for Las Vegas book. Shortly after, I received an e-mail from the person who ordered it, who wanted to know if this would help him win money on a nearly daily basis.

The reader was looking for a $200-$300 daily win on average. Assuming a 250-day work year, this equates to a $62,500 per year job. Not a bad salary and I’m guessing if it were that easy, many more people would be doing it.

Regrettably, I had to tell him that I certainly could not make any guarantees of this type. The vast majority of full-pay machines still have paybacks below 100 percent and thus are long term losing propositions for the player. Using the strategy in my books will help you minimize your losses in these cases and give you a reasonable chance of winning.

There are still a few machines out there with paybacks over 100 percent. They are getting harder and harder to find and generally speaking, are in lower denominations. The casinos have figured out that you can’t offer paybacks over 100 percent on large denomination machines or some video poker pro is likely to capitalize on the situation.

There is a website called vpfree2.com which has a search engine which can help you find these machines. The database is player maintained, so it may not be up-to-the-minute accurate. In doing a quick search through the database, the highest payback machine I could find were full-pay Deuces Wild at about 100.76 percent, playing quarters at most.

Playing seven hours per day at 800 hands per hour, a player can expect to average about a $50 win per day. This is well short of my reader’s hopes. If they had $1 machines, then his goal might be more attainable.

But this is just an average expected win. Video poker is a very volatile game. If you could play blackjack at 100.75 percent, you might be able to count on this type of win most days. In video poker, roughly 2 percent of the payback comes from the Royal Flush (a natural Royal in the case of Deuces Wild). So, on any day you don’t hit one, you’re essentially playing a 98.76 percent game. In other words, a net loser.

On the days you hit that Royal, you’ll be a big winner. Royals occur roughly 1 in 40,000 hands. Using my prior example, you would hit one about every eight or nine days on average. But, you could easily hit three in nine days or go 25+ days without hitting one.

At the end of the year, you should be fairly close to that target of $50 per day. This translates to $12,500 per year. This sounds like a nice win on a yearly basis, but this requires that you play five days per week for seven hours per day. It is essentially a full-time job to make below minimum wage.

Admittedly, these numbers do not take into account the benefits of using a slot club card which will increase your net win a bit.

Video poker, like most casino gaming, is a form of entertainment. My strategies will help you minimize the cost and give you a good shot of winning on any given day.

I would strongly suggest you not try to make a living at it. The only exception might be live Poker where you are playing against other players and not the house.
