Joker Wild Double Up is played with a minimum of one hand and a maximum of 25, which can be played as 1, 5, 10, or 25, as well as 1-5 bet levels and varying coin values. The hands you play and the amount you stake each time are up to you, but be sure to lock in that bet before pressing DEAL… All winning combinations and payouts are made via the paytable, and simultaneous wins from different hands will be added instantly. However, if you’re feeling lucky, you may just wish to bet those winnings on a Double Up bonus gamble feature, which will pits your wits against the luck of the card.

Double Up Bonus Gamble Feature
Now is the time to decide whether you’re happy with you lot, or if you wish to gamble it all for the chance to double your winnings; the only risk is that you could lose it all – do you want to gamble anyway? Each winning hand that is played during Joker Wild Double Up will be followed by the chance to take part in a bonus gamble feature called Double Up, a decision that can be made by manually selecting the GAMBLE option from the paytable or, if you’re feeling in the mood for a little risk, automatically prior to the game starting. During the bonus round a player will be shown five cards, face down, and then tasked with correctly identifying their colour before they’re turned over – are they red or black? Correct identification will reward you with a set amount of coins that was predetermined prior to the start of the round, as well as the option to carry on gambling or collect your winnings. Incorrectly guessing a card will immeditiately terminate the bonus round and result in a player losing everything they’ve won, but not collected, thus far. It’s a game of chance, and requires more than a little courage.
