The Double Jackpot Poker Bonus Round

Every time you build a winning hand playing Double Jackpot Poker, you get a chance to play the Double or Nothing Bonus Round. Click Yes and the Dealer’s card is revealed. Choose a card, click Draw, and if the card reveal is higher than the Dealer’s, you win double! Careful – it’s tempting to keep doubling, but remember, the cards can be fickle… keep doubling at your own risk.

Playing Multi-Hand Double Jackpot Poker

When selecting to play Double Jackpot Poker, Silver Oak Casino offers you the opportunity to choose to play three, ten, 52 or even 100 hands at a time. The round of play is the same as the standard game – you get to keep the same cards you selected on all hands with all those other cards being replaced to make new hands. The opportunities for winning are so much better – you could even win all 100 hands at a time! Winning hands are highlighted in the multi-game version with the number of winning hands and payouts specified in the pay table.

Double Jackpot Poker Tips

• Playing for more credits (Max Bet) will increase your payouts on winning hands at Silver Oak Casino.
• Consider not keeping Two Pairs. It keeps you from possibly drawing a Three-of-a-Kind or Four-of-a-Kind, which have much higher payouts. However, some feel that if you think you can make a Full House, hold them as long as one of the Pairs is Jacks or Higher.
• Don’t even think of keeping an unmatched high-ranking card when you only have a Pair. It blocks the possibility of building so many better hands, especially in multi-hand versions of the game.
• Particularly useful when playing multi-hand versions of Double Jackpot Poker, hold any hand featuring three cards in sequential order and replace the other cards. You now have three possibilities of winning multiple types of Straights.

History of Double Jackpot Poker

Around the same time as personal computers appeared in the marketplace in the 1970s, the first video poker games were launched. Draw Poker launched in 1979 by International Game Technology, which quickly became popular with casino gamblers.

Players in traditional casinos thought video poker was easier to learn, and less intimidating, so in the 1980s, more space was dedicated to the game at traditional casinos. The popularity for video poker grew as better quality machines with improved graphics and speed were introduced.

When Video Poker was adapted for use on the internet early in the 1990s, players started playing online using their home computers because it was simple to play and very convenient. Since there were no expenses or travel costs involved going to a casino, players saved money and that money could be spent on gambling.

Since then, as affordable broadband connections became installed in more and more homes, players began to explore the endless variations of online video poker. Now, more than 300,000 people play online video poker games world-wide every day.
