Multi-Hand Bonus Video Poker Rules

  • Bonus Video Poker

  • Overview

    Bonus Video Poker is a draw poker game based on the common hand rankings used in five-card poker games.

    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 William Hill Casino.

    Bonus Video Poker can be played 3, 5, 10, 50, or 100 hands at a time with bets ranging from £0.03 to £2,500 per game round.

  • Bonus Card Rules

    Bonus Video Poker includes a unique payout feature. Discarded cards are reshuffled into the decks before replacement cards are drawn. Each returned discard pays a bonus amount based on the size of the original wager.

  • 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.
