Beginner Double Bonus Strategy

If you're a new Double Bonus player, you're probably better off to stick with the beginner chart for now. It's much more simple and will help you make decisions quickly as you learn the game. This chart isn't as accurate as the full chart below, so if you're looking for the best possible strategy use the full expert chart we have 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-4c. In this case you have a pat flush, but you also have an open ended straight flush draw including a draw to a royal flush. By looking at the chart below, you'll see that a royal flush draw is better than a pat flush, so make sure to discard the 4c and go for the straight flush/royal.

• 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
• Pat Straight vs. Four to a Straight Flush » Keep the Straight
• Two Pair vs. a Pair of Aces » Keep the Two Pair
• Four to a Flush vs. Four to a Straight » Keep the Four to a Flush
• Pair (Jacks through Aces) vs. Open Four to Straight » Keep the Pair
• Open Four to Straight vs. Pair (Twos through Tens) » Keep the Straight Draw
• Ace/King/Queen/Jack vs. Discard Everything » Keep the Ace/King/Queen/Jack

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.

*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).

Thread Rating:

The Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek, FL recently introduced two tables for this game. I was wondering if anyone has analyzed the game to develop a playing strategy and to determine the house advantage given optimum play. Thanks for your help. Here are the rules and payouts:
Double Draw Poker is played with a single 54-card deck. The two jokers can be used as aces or to complete straights, flushes or straight flushes.
Getting Started - Make equal bets on the ante and bonus. You will then receive five cards.
After looking at your cards, you have a choice: Fold or stay in the game by making a “draw” bet for an amount equal to your ante. If you make the draw bet, you may discard 0, 1, 2 or 3 cards. The dealer will give you an equal amount of replacement cards.
You then have another choice: Fold or stay in the game by making a second draw bet for an amount equal to your ante. If you make the draw bet, you may discard 0 or 1 card. The dealer will give you an equal amount of replacement cards.
Winning & Losing You win if your end up with two pair or better. If you get two pair or better, your ante and draw bets pay even money and your bonus bet pays according to the paytable.
BONUS PAY TABLE
Five Aces 500-1
Natural Royal Flush 100-1
Straight Flush 50-1
Four of a Kind 20-1
Full House 5-1
Flush 3-1
Straight 2-1
Three of a Kind 1-1
Two Pair Push

dttfla,
Welcome to the board! I went to SHFL to see if they posted any strategy information there, and noticed that your description is a cut-and-paste of their text for the game; you're going to want to attribute anything like that you post on here to the author. I also checked the Wizard of Odds link, below, but the game is probably too new for Wiz to have listed it; they may not be playing it in Nevada yet. However, the game was shown this week at Raving Tables (right next to mine) as a new availability from SHFL, so there may well have been more information there that someone picked up and can share. I live in Florida, too, and may have to run down there and see how the game plays myself; it's definitely one I would like to try. See you there!

Axel - I meant that in a friendly way since dttfla is new, but the rules are copyrighted on their site, so I thought I'd mention it because this forum does police those things. It may be a bit stringent, I agree; no offense intended.
