A kicker is simply a card from a certain set of cards. For Double Double Bonus, four aces pays 160 for 1. However, four aces with a kicker of a 2, 3 or 4 pays a whopping 400 for 1. This is two and one half times what is paid for four aces without a kicker. Getting four aces with a kicker pays half as much as a royal and it occurs two and a half times as often. Four 2’s, 3’s, or 4’s pay 80 for 1. Four 2’s, 3’s, or 4’s with a kicker of an ace, 2, 3, or 4 pays double that or 160 for 1.

Clearly this game is geared toward people who love hitting big wins. Apparently many people do as this game is very popular.

Unfortunately, the full pay (9/6) version of this game returns only 98.98 percent to the player making it one of the lower paying full pay games. The variance is high at 42.0 caused by so much money being tied up in a few very large hands. Also, the strategy is more complex than any so far due to the very high value of aces and low cards and the presence of kickers.
