Double Up Bonus Gamble Feature
After every game, there will be an opportunity for players to double their winnings or lose everything in a bonus feature called Double Up. Activating this feature can either be done manually by selecting GAMBLE after every winning hand, or automatically by selecting the option from the main menu prior to starting play. During Double Up, players are shown five cards face down and they must guess whether the cards are red or black prior to them being revealed. If your guess is correct, you will win a predetermined number of coins and be allowed to carry on guessing for up to 5 cards in total – hence the opportunity to ‘Double Up’. Players are allowed to collect their winnings at any point, or to continue to gamble. Choosing a card’s colour incorrectly will finish the bonus gamble round and reset a player’s winnings to £0.
