  • AAK9

Playing the Bonus Round

In the bonus round, you can win up to 2000x your bet. The bonus round is structured like the "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" game show, where you answer questions to climb the prize ladder. Each question has four possible answers, which can be multipliers or "X" symbols.

    • 50-50: Removes two incorrect answers.

Strategies for Success

Choosing the Right Game Variant

Each game variant requires a different strategy. Here are some tips for the most popular variants:

  • Jacks or Better: Aim to hold pairs and high cards (Jacks or higher) to increase your chances of forming a winning hand.
  • Deuces Wild: Hold any twos, as they act as wild cards. Focus on forming higher-ranking hands.
  • Bonus Poker: Prioritise holding pairs and high cards, similar to Jacks or Better, but with an eye on potential bonus payouts.
  • Double Double Bonus Poker: Target hands with Aces and kickers for higher payouts. This variant is more volatile, so manage your bankroll accordingly.
  • Millionaire Aces: Focus on holding Aces and high cards to take advantage of the enhanced payouts for hands involving Aces.

Betting Strategies

  • Bankroll Management: Set a budget for your gaming session and stick to it. Adjust your bet size based on your bankroll.
  • Multiple Hands: Playing multiple hands can increase your chances of triggering the Millionaire Bonus Round, but it also requires a larger bankroll.
  • Millionaire Bonus Bet: Consider the long-term RTP (96%) when deciding whether to place the Millionaire Bonus Bet. It offers potential high payouts but comes at an additional cost.
