Number Bonus

Introduction

Number Bonus is a video poker game that offers premium pays if a predetermined rank is pertinent part of certain hands. The only provider of this game, as far as I know, is Red Rake Gaming, a provider of software for Internet casinos.

Rules

The game plays like standard video poker, except as follows.

  1. Every day there will be a Bonus Number, which can be anything from 2 to 10. This number will be disclosed to the player upon loading the game.
  2. The lowest paying hand is for jacks or better or a pair of the rank of the Bonus Number.
  3. The Bonus Double Pair is a two pair including a pair of the rank of the Bonus Number.
  4. The Bonus Three of a Kind is a three of a kind of the rank of the Bonus Number.
  5. The Bonus Flush is a flush including the rank of the Bonus Number.
  6. The Bonus Full House includes the rank of the Bonus Number in either the pair or three of a kind.
  7. The Bonus Four of a Kind is all four suits of the rank of the Bonus Number.

Please note that a singleton of the rank of the Bonus Number only helps improve the rank of the flush.
