Bonus Poker Deluxe at Springbok: one award for every four of a kind

Each deal gives you five cards and none of them is wild. You mark the cards worth keeping, draw once, and every discard is replaced before the final five are scored against the table on screen. The smallest win is a pair of Jacks or better; a pair of 10s or anything lower returns nothing. Lobby reading · 9 Oct 2026 (opens the source)

Two settings come before the deal. The coin value runs from R0.05 to R5.00, and you bet 1 to 5 of those coins, so the cheapest hand costs R0.05 and the dearest R25.00. The hand selector offers a single hand and nothing more.

A win opens an optional Double or Nothing round. The dealer turns over a card and you pick one of your own: if yours is higher, the win doubles; if it is lower, the win is gone. Collecting instead keeps the amount exactly as the pay table printed it, and nothing on the screen requires you to gamble.

Sound holds shrink the share of each bet the house keeps; they never remove it, and no hold makes a session pay. Within that limit, a few Jacks or Better habits need adjusting for this table. The points below come from published analysis of Bonus Poker Deluxe, listed in the sources, applied to a table that differs slightly from Springbok's.

• Two pair is still kept whole. Even at even money, both pairs plus a one-card draw at the full house beat breaking them up. A Las Vegas Advisor column on this game answers a dealt pair of Kings with a pair of 4s exactly that way: hold the two pair.
• No rank deserves special treatment. Every four of a kind pays the same here, so the Aces-first instincts that matter on Bonus Poker or Double Bonus Poker do nothing. Three 2s are as good a quad draw as three Aces.
• Four-card inside straights are kept more often. Las Vegas Advisor's analysis works through several close calls and, in each, holds the four-card inside straight in Bonus Poker Deluxe more often than a Jacks or Better chart would.
• Ace-Jack offsuit is not automatic. In Jacks or Better an unsuited Ace and Jack are kept together. The same analysis finds hands in this game where a lone Jack is the better hold.

Those exceptions are fine margins, so get the plain holds right first. For a chart matched to Springbok's rows, the Wizard of Odds Video Poker Strategy Maker lets you enter or modify a pay table; copy the 5-coin column from the viewer at the top of this page. The method behind ranked hold lists is set out in video poker strategy basics.

The table pays in coins, so what a win means in rand depends on the coin value. Pick any value from R0.05 to R5.00 in the viewer's Show pays as setting and every row converts on the spot.

Plan a session the other way round: settle the total you are willing to spend, then pick the coin value that lets it cover a few hundred hands at full coins. Hands take seconds, so an evening's budget can disappear in minutes at the top setting. The stakes table on the home page shows the cost per hand and per hundred hands at each coin value.

Bonus Poker Deluxe plays in the mobile lobby. When this site opened the video poker room from a desktop browser on 9 October 2026, the lobby showed a notice that Flash had been retired and that the games carry on in the mobile version, which is where this pay table was read. For rehearsal, Try It! on the game's tile starts a fun-money session (R1,000.00 when the table was read), so the holds above can be practised before a real stake goes in. There is more on how Springbok's practice mode works in a separate guide.
