Bonus Poker by Betsoft

With the rise of online and live casino poker, video poker games have gotten attention. That does not mean they no longer exist, however! They are just more difficult to find. Fortunately, Betsoft continues to give you a whole host of interesting games. Today, we are looking at Bonus Poker, a title that offers some incredible winning potential.

This release uses a random number generator to determine the result of each round. It may not have a real life dealer, but you can control the pace of each round yourself. The animations are simple but look elegant. With game speed control, you can choose to view them or skip them entirely.

Each round starts with several betting options that you have to sort through. First, you need to choose your coin value in the bottom right corner of the screen. You also have to pick how many coins you will wager with each round. Players can pick between one to five coins. Alternatively, you can press max bet to make the highest wager immediately.

After all wagers are placed, the game will display your hand. This will reveal five cards, ranging from Ace to King. You can choose to hold cards at no additional cost. There is no limit to how many cards you can hold. Cards you did not hold will be drawn again, displaying a different card. Your end goal is to hold cards that may help you form a winning combination.

Finally, the game will check your current card combination. If the five cards you have form a winning combination, you will receive a cash prize. You receive a different prize depending on the quality of the winning combination.

Unlike most other poker games, you do not play against someone else. Instead, Bonus Poker is all about making the best combination with the cards you are dealt. There is nothing to help you identify what cards you need to keep. You will need to know what each winning combination is and strategize how to get it!

You win different amounts depending on the strength of your card and the coin value you bet. The weakest win is a jacks or better with one coin, that pays a single coin. The best possible winning combination is getting a natural royal flush, which pays 4,000 coins.

There are no side bets in Betsoft’s release. That said, you can use Gamble to improve wins. After each win, you will be prompted to try to double your winning money. The game will offer you a visible card and four face down card. Your chosen card needs to have a higher value than the visible dealer card to win. If you guess wrong, you lose everything.
