Red Black Double Double Bonus Poker
Introduction
Red Black Double Double Bonus Poker is a video poker variation I noticed at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas on April 5, 2016. It was on an old machine, so I speculate the game has been around for a while and has somehow escaped my notice previously. It works like conventional Double Double Bonus, except there is an additional line item for a 10-A straight of all the same color.
The pay table at the Hard Rock was the 7/5 one listed below. In my forum at Wizard of Vegas a member asked about a 9/5 pay table. I also list a return for an 8/5 game, because it surely must exist somewhere.
