Quads Definition - what does the term quads mean in the world of poker? What is meant by quads?
If you’re a video poker fan with ayen for the Jacks or Better (JOB) games you know that hitting four of a kind is thenext best thing to a royal flush, but neither happens very often. It’sespecially frustrating when you’re dealt three of a kind on the initial dealand there are 47 remaining cards with only 2 chances of drawing that 1 matchingfourth card.
Enter Quick Quads (QQ). This new game gives you theopportunity to earn a four of a kind payout when your hand contains only threeof a kind. Here is how it works:
After selecting your game of choiceon a machine designated for Quick Quads, you must first play six credits pergame instead of the usual five to be eligible for the QQ bonus feature. Currentlythe VP games offered are Jacks or Better, JOB Bonus, Double Bonus,Double Double Bonus and Triple Bonus in single play, 3 play, 5 and 10 play.There are two ways to receive a QQ bonus payout:
Initialdeal – If you are dealt three of a kind from rank 2 thru 10 and theremaining two cards add up to that particular rank, you will be paid the fourof a kind payout for that rank. Example: you are dealt 8,8,8,5,3. In that 5 + 3= 8, you will be paid for quad eights.
Afterdraw – After you discard two non-matching cards and your draw cards add upto that rank. Example: 4,4,4,K,J. Discard the K,J. If a 3,A or 2,2 are drawn,you have quad fours.(Aces count as one).
Suppose you’re dealt a full housesuch as a 7, 7, 7, K and K. Then it becomes decision making time. Do you holdthe full house and collect 45 credits, or discard the kings hoping for one offour possible combinations drawing a large quad win of 260 credits: a 7, or 6& A; a 5 & 2, or 4 & 3. If not, you’ll be paid 15 credits for thethree of a kind. Some QQ games pay more for certain quad combinations thanregular VP bonus games. Here is an example of the Double Double Bonus (DDB )payouts on a 5 coin max bet vs. Quick Quads:
