About Bonus Poker Deluxe

In the face of so many different kinds of online casino poker games out there, one can very easily find themselves inundated with options, to the point where they choose to play something else entirely. This is quite unnecessary, especially when you consider the fact that the majority of online poker games all seem to follow a very similar set of rules, format and layout. Yes, some games are better than others in terms of user-friendliness, payouts and more, and one that stands out as a true winner is Microgaming’s Bonus Poker Deluxe. With an interface that is easy to navigate, jaw-dropping payout potential and a handy Help file nearby, this is an online poker game that is well worth your time… and a couple of bets!

At its very heart, Bonus Poker Deluxe follows the same rules as any reputable video poker game. You’re dealt 5 cards, and the objective is to get a winning hand. Some hands are obviously better – and pay out more – than others, and in Bonus Poker Deluxe, the hands you’ll encounter are 2 pair, 3 of a kind, jacks or better, straight, full house, flush, , 4 of a kind and straight flush.

Unlike some online poker games, Bonus Poker Deluxe does not have any wilds. This doesn’t hurt the payout potential, however, and might actually appeal to those players who are more familiar with online casino poker games, who perhaps like to try their hands at a strategy, or at least feel that their wins are hard-earned, and not the result of any special or otherwise lucky cards.

Placing bets and playing Bonus Poker Deluxe is an absolute cinch, with everything you need in one place. Unlike playing online slots games – particularly video slots – there aren’t pages upon pages or rules and paytables to memorise. Everything is neatly packaged and presented on one screen. Using the ‘-’ and ‘+’ icons will let you place your bet, with the minimum possible bet being 0.25 credits and the max set at 25.00. As such, the game is well suited to those players who may be relatively new to the world of video poker, or at least those who are not keen on wagering too high.

Once you’ve chosen your bet size, you simply need to select your betting option from the paytable on the screen, then click or tap the ‘Deal’ button. As you can expect, you’ll be dealt 5 cards, of which you need to hold the ones you feel will give you the upper hand. The game will automatically suggest which cards to hold so as to increase your chances of securing a win. Clicking on ‘Draw’ will shuffle the cards you’re dealt – except the ones you’re holding – and this is the part where you get to see what – if anything – you’ve won.

Your winnings can quickly and easily be doubled by selecting the Double button. Here, correctly selecting a card that is of a higher value than the one displayed will see your winnings soar.

With so many different options for online casino players, many of which can be enjoyed in a live environment, online casino poker games like Bonus Poker Deluxe then fall by the wayside, considered dated and redundant. This is quite the pity, as video poker games are an incredibly fun choice, and are surprisingly relaxing once you know what you’re doing. What’s more, they offer some incredible payout potential, especially with the added option of being able to double your wins.
