Bonus Poker Deluxe at th16 — A Unique Video Poker Experience
Introduction
What exactly is Bonus Poker Deluxe, and why is it so popular?
Among the many variants of Video Poker, Bonus Poker Deluxe holds a special place. Built on the foundation of Jacks or Better, it offers significantly enhanced payouts for Four of a Kind hands. The "Deluxe" in the name says it all — every Four of a Kind category pays better here than in standard Bonus Poker.
Finding this game at th16 is straightforward. Simply go to the Video Poker section in the casino lobby and you will see Bonus Poker Deluxe right there. It runs smoothly on both mobile and desktop, and plays comfortably even on Bangladesh's typical internet connections.
So what's the key difference? In standard Jacks or Better, all Four of a Kind hands pay the same. In Bonus Poker Deluxe, however, Four Aces earn the top prize, followed by Four 2s/3s/4s, with all other Four of a Kind hands paying at their own separate rates. This tiered structure makes the game far more exciting.

Winning Hands in Bonus Poker Deluxe
The thrill of building the best hand from five cards
In Video Poker, the goal is to build a qualifying hand. You start with five cards, Hold the ones you want to keep, and replace the rest with new cards. Your final five-card combination determines your hand.
Below is the complete list of winning hands in Bonus Poker Deluxe, ranked from highest to lowest:
Payout Table
Bonus Poker Deluxe Payout Table — 5-Coin Bet
| Hand Name | 1 Coin | 2 Coins | 3 Coins | 4 Coins | 5 Coins (Maximum) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 250 | 500 | 750 | 1,000 | 4,000 |
| Straight Flush | 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 |
| Four Aces | 160 | 320 | 480 | 640 | 800 |
| Four 2s / 3s / 4s | 80 | 160 | 240 | 320 | 400 |
| Four of a Kind (5–K) | 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 |
| Full House | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 |
| Flush | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| Straight | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Three of a Kind | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 |
| Two Pair | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Jacks or Better | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
The payout figures above are based on the standard Bonus Poker Deluxe configuration. Please verify against the game's own pay table on the specific payout screen at th16.
Why is maximum bet important? With a Royal Flush, a 1-coin bet pays 250x, but betting 5 coins pays 4,000x — a much higher return per coin. That is why experienced Video Poker players always recommend betting the maximum coins, as long as it stays within your budget.

Analysing each card before making your decision is the core strategy in Video Poker
Hold Priority List
From highest rank to lowest — if you hold a higher-ranked hand, do not consider the ones below it.
| Position | Hand Situation | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complete hands: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind | Hold All 5 |
| 2 | 4-Card Draw to Four Aces or Four 2s/3s/4s | Hold 4, Replace 1 |
| 3 | Complete hands — Full House, Flush, Straight | Hold All 5 |
| 4 | Three of a Kind | Hold 3, Replace 2 |
| 5 | 4-Card Royal Flush Draw | Hold 4 and go for a Royal Flush |
| 6 | Two Pair | Hold 4 (Two Pair), Replace 1 |
| 7 | High Pair (Jacks or better) | Hold 2, Replace 3 |
| 8 | 4-Card Straight Flush Draw | Hold 4 Cards |
| 9 | Low Pair (10s or below) | Hold 2, Replace 3 |
| 10 | No winning hand or draw | Hold high single cards (A, K, Q, J) |
Special priority given to Four Aces
Four Aces pay out far more than any other Four of a Kind in Bonus Poker Deluxe. So whenever you're dealt three Aces, hold all three along with one neutral card to keep your shot at the fourth Ace.
Don't Break a Complete Flush Lightly
If you already have a completed Flush, breaking it to chase a Royal Flush is rarely the profitable move. Giving up a guaranteed payout is generally not a wise decision.
High Pair vs. Four-Card Draw
If you have a High Pair (J or higher), generally keep it unless you also have a Straight Flush Draw or a 4-card Royal Flush Draw at the same time. If you have a Four Aces Draw, that should always take priority.
Hold the Two Pair
With Two Pair, hold both pairs and replace the fifth card. There is a chance of hitting a Full House, which pays well. However, breaking up one pair to chase something else is generally a mistake.
4-Card Straight Flush vs. Low Pair
If your hand contains both a Low Pair (10s or below) and a 4-card Straight Flush draw, prioritising the Straight Flush draw can be the mathematically stronger play.
Always play maximum coins
With a 5-coin bet, the Royal Flush payout per coin is significantly higher. If your budget is tight, lower the Coin Value and play 5 coins — keep your total bet the same while maximising your payout potential.
Comparative Analysis
Jacks or Better vs. Bonus Poker vs. Bonus Poker Deluxe
| Features | Jacks or Better | Bonus Poker | Bonus Poker Deluxe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four Aces Payout | 25:1 | 80:1 | 160:1 (Maximum) |
| Four 2s/3s/4s | 25:1 | 40:1 | 80:1 |
| Four 5s–Ks | 25:1 | 25:1 | 50:1 |
| Full House payout | 9:1 | 8:1 | 8:1 |
| Flush Payout | 6:1 | 5:1 | 5:1 |
| Two Pair Payout | 2:1 | 2:1 | 1:1 |
| Maximum RTP (with optimal strategy) | ~99.54% | ~99.17% | ~99.64% |
| Suitability for beginners | Easiest | Medium | Once You Understand Four of a Kind |
Note: In Bonus Poker Deluxe, Two Pair pays just 1:1 (your bet back), compared to 2:1 in Jacks or Better. Keep this in mind when planning your strategy — breaking a Two Pair to chase something bigger carries real risk, especially since the Two Pair payout itself is already low.

Common Mistakes
Common Mistakes Beginners Make
After hitting Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind, many players hold a "Kicker" — an extra high-value card. In Video Poker, a Kicker is worthless. If you have Three of a Kind, hold just those three and replace the other two.
Some new players break a Low Pair to keep two High Cards instead. In most cases, holding the Low Pair is the better mathematical play — it keeps open the chance of hitting Three of a Kind or even Four of a Kind.
If a Straight or Flush is already complete, it is wise to keep it rather than break it and secure the guaranteed payout. The only exception: you may break a Flush if you have a 4-card Royal Flush Draw.
Having no playable cards doesn't always mean you should replace all five. If you hold at least one Ace or a high-value card, it's often better to keep it and replace the rest.
