Full Pay Double Bonus Video Poker The pay table below shows part of the reason why the game is so popular. The full pay version has a pay back of just over 100% coming in at 100.17%. The Double Double Bonus Poker pay table has the straight flush which pays 50 for 1 listed above all of the four of a kind hands. However, in Double Double Bonus Poker four of a kind hands pay between 50 for 1 and 400 for 1. Video poker strategy takes more space to display than blackjack strategy. There can be scores of lines. Double Double Bonus Poker (DDB) is the most popular video poker game in the country. That’s because it’s possible to hit several big payouts besides the royal flush, and this draws players to the game. Unfortunately, there are also some pitfalls to playing DDB, which most players are not aware of.
