Straight Flush Bonus

Introduction

Straight Flush Bonus is a rare video poker to spot. I found it at Steiner's bar in Las Vegas. As the name suggests, it pays a premium for a straight flush. A four of a kind pays double the usual 25 too. This comes at the expense of a two pair paying only one. Steiner's follows the 8-5 pay table below.
