Video Poker (3, 5, 10 Hand)

Some variants have one or more wild cards, some offer a progressive jackpot, and all of them have a bonus card feature that is unique to InterCasino

Double Up Game:
Following a game round resulting in a payout, a simple double-up game can be played by selecting the 'Double Up' button. A card is displayed face-up together with four face-down cards. All five cards are randomly selected from a single deck of cards. To win the double up game, the player must select a higher card than the original face-up card. A card equal in value to the original card is considered a 'push'. Following a win or a push in the double up game, the player may play again or collect the payout and return to the main game. Bonus Card payouts are always included in Double Up game wagers and results.
Progressive Jackpot Games:
Video Poker has two coin values 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 real time.
