This is one of IGT?s new video poker games offering bonus payments when the player wagers a sixth coin per hand. (See page 26.)

This is a ?Super? version of multi-hand versions of games in seven different video poker genres?including Jacks or Better and six different ?Bonus Poker? genres. The player can select Triple Play, Five Play or Ten Play mode for Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Bonus Poker Deluxe, Super Double Double Bonus, or Super Aces Bonus Poker.

The big difference between this and IGT?s other six-coin bonus video poker games?aside from the fact it includes straight Jacks or Better?is that the sixth coin activates a bonus pay table that includes extra awards for the straight flush as well as four-of-a-kind hands.

The bonus pay schedules vary according to the games chosen,
but as an example, on 9/6 Double Double Bonus Poker, the sixth coin doubles all payouts for four of a kind?four 5s-Ks pay 500 credits; four 2s, 3s or 4s, 800; four aces or four 2s, 3s or 4s with a kicker pay 1,600; and aces with the kicker go to 4,000, the same as a royal flush. The straight flush goes from 250 credits to 700 credits with the extra wager.

Bonus pays are funded by the extra credits that are wagered, so nothing is taken away from the 27 base paytable variations. In other words, the operator loses nothing, and
actually will likely draw more play, by
providing loose paytables with this video poker variation.
