Shockwave Poker

Shockwave Poker is a unique version of video poker. The play is "normal" most of the time, but as soon as you obtain a Four of a Kind hand, you enter Shockwave mode. Shockwave mode begins with the next play and lasts for ten plays or until you get another Four of a Kind, whichever happens first. Four of a Kind formed during Shockwave mode is paid at a bonus rate.

The object is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. Payouts start with a pair of Jacks.

Betting/ Dealing

To start playing the game, you first need to place a bet.

Once Deal or Bet Max is clicked, five cards are dealt. The Deal control is replaced by a Draw button.

Note: Cards that form any winning combination are held automatically.

If your winning hand is Four of a Kind, Shockwave mode turns on immediately. If you have a winning poker hand other than Four of a Kind, you can participate in the doubling bonus round.

Doubling Round Rules

If you have a winning poker hand, you can increase your winnings by participating in the doubling bonus round. Your objective is to draw a card of higher value than the Dealer's.

The Dealer draws a face-up card and you are dealt 4 face-down cards to select from.

Shockwave Mode

Shockwave mode is initiated by the formation of Four of a Kind. Shockwave mode begins with the next play and lasts for ten plays or until you get another Four of a Kind, whichever happens first. Once Shockwave mode is triggered you cannot change either bet amount or coins value till the Shockwave mode is finished.

During Shockwave mode the counter for games played in this mode is displayed on the screen. Once Shockwave mode ends, the counter disappears.

If you get a "quads" (Four of a Kind hand) during Shockwave mode, you will get your winning paid at a bonus rate!
