Bonus Card Rules:
InterCasino Bonus Video Poker includes a unique payout feature. Discarded cards are then reshuffled into the decks before replacement cards are drawn from the deck. Each returned discarded card pays a bonus amount based on the size of the original bet.
Double Up Game:
After a game round resulting in a payout a simple double-up game can be played by pressing on the 'Double Up' button. A card is then given face-up together with four face-down cards. All five of these cards are randomly selected from a single deck of cards. To win the double up game, the player must take a higher card than the original card facing upwards. A card that is equal in value to the original card is known as a 'push'. After a win or a push in the double up game, the player may either play again or collect the payout and return to the main game. The Bonus Card payouts are always included in the Double Up game wagers as well as the results.
Progressive Jackpot Games:
Bonus Video Poker has two coin values that are available for its Super Jackpot variant: $0.25 and $1.00. The current jackpot amount for a Royal Flush is displayed on the 'paytable' of the game in the real time.
