Double Jackpot Poker at Springbok: four aces, picture cards and the kicker

How Double Jackpot Poker plays at Springbok

The four-of-a-kind ladder and the kicker rows

Five rows of the Double Jackpot table cover four of a kind. Read them as a ladder: the rank decides which rung you land on, and for the top ranks the right fifth card moves you up one.

Coins per coin at 1 coin. The pay-table viewer at the top of the page shows the 5-coin figures and the rand value at each coin size.

Two details are easy to miss. As displayed, four aces without a kicker and four picture cards with one pay the same, 70 coins per coin. And a King cannot be the kicker for four Kings, since all four are in the hand, so four Kings need an Ace, Queen or Jack beside them.

Below the ladder the table is familiar ground. Per coin, the full house is worth 8, the flush 5 and the straight 4; three of a kind returns 3, two pair 2 and Jacks or better 1. Only the royal flush grows faster than the stake, from 250 at 1 coin to 4,000 at 5, which is why that row carries the plus mark.

Double Jackpot vs Double Double Jackpot Poker

Springbok's lobby carries a close relative, Double Double Jackpot Poker, with the same five quad rows under the same labels. The two tables share a shape but not a balance.

The Double Double version pays more on every four-of-a-kind row and a little more on the full house, flush and straight. It gives that back by cutting two pair to 1 coin, the same as a pair of Jacks, and by flattening the ace kicker: as displayed, four aces pay the same there with or without a King, Queen or Jack. In Double Jackpot, two pair still pays 2 and the ace kicker still counts.

So the plain table puts more of its pay into two pair, a hand that comes round often, and the Double Double table more into four of a kind, which is rare. Neither game screen, neither help page and no Springbok page we read states a return figure for these two machines, and Pay Table Room does not estimate one.

How Springbok's table compares with the published one

Wizard of Odds, a long-running video poker reference, lists one table for this game, which it also calls Double Aces and Faces. Springbok's version keeps the same rows but pays less on four aces and on four picture cards; from four 2s-10s down, the two tables match.

Wizard of Odds figures as published on its Double Jackpot page. Its royal flush figure assumes the maximum bet, so that row is left out; the straight flush and every row below the full house are the same in both. Its return figures are not used here.

A smaller award on a rare hand is what players call a short pay: the machine looks and deals the same, and only the pay table shows the difference. The guide to video poker pay tables explained, row by row covers short pays in more detail.

Coin size, practice mode and phones

The betting grid is shared across Springbok's video poker, with coin values of R0.05, R0.25, R0.50, R1.00 and R5.00 and between 1 and 5 coins a hand. Every row except the royal flush pays the same multiple of the stake at any coin count, so the fifth coin only buys a bigger royal; the "Show pays as" menu at the top of the page puts that 5-coin royal in rand at your coin size.

Double Jackpot Poker was read on the mobile client. The desktop message about Flash being retired was recorded on 9 October 2026 for Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild only, so treat a phone as the way in. Each lobby tile also has a Try It! button for practice play, which started with R1,000.00 in fun money on the day the tables were read: a sensible place to watch the kicker rows work before real rand is involved. Springbok says that balance is a one-off that does not refill. Springbok's claim · 9 Oct 2026 (opens the source)

Cash hands still collect comp points at the rate in Springbok's terms, 1 comp point per R10 wagered and 100 points = R1 when redeemed Verified · 9 Oct 2026 (opens the source). That is a small rebate on turnover, not a reason to add hands. A sister guide explains how Springbok comp points are earned and redeemed.
