What's Triple Dbl Bonus 400/55/9/6/4 like to play?

Triple Double Bonus is designed around a highly concentrated payout structure, where a large share of the game’s return is tied to a small number of premium four of a kind outcomes. As a result, progress during a session is often driven by whether or not one of these hands appears, rather than by steady accumulation from mid-tier wins. The appeal lies in this all-or-nothing dynamic, where a single major result can outweigh long stretches of otherwise modest play. This paytable combines an elevated Straight Flush award with the strongest Full House payout, a strong Flush value, and a solid Straight payout.

How strategy works

From the five cards you're dealt, the correct hold is the one with the highest expected value — the average coins it returns over the long run. The biggest payouts here are Royal Flush (800), 4 Aces With 234 Kicker (800), Four 2s,3s,4s With A234 Kicker (400), which shape which draws are worth chasing. PerfectPLAY computes the optimal hold and its expected value for every possible hand, so you can learn the exact play rather than a rule of thumb.

You’re reading original analysis. Every hold and expected value here is calculated in-house by PerfectPLAY.vegas for this exact pay table — nothing aggregated, nothing taken from elsewhere. These are never generic charts copied from another site.
