Quick Quads

Quick Quads is not a Video Poker game in itself but rather a variation on the standard Video Poker format has been applied to some games. The difference between Quick Quads and the standard version of the game is that the player can choose to play a 6th coin. When playing a 6th coin if the player receives 3 of a Kind and the remaining 2 cards sum to the rank of the 3 of a Kind, the hand pays as 4 of a Kind. For example, if you received 55523 as the 2 and the 3 sum to 5 this hand would pay as 4 of a Kind.

It should be noted that when not playing the 6th coin the above example would pay as 3 of a Kind.

On top of the above, the Quick Quads games we’ve seen all have an increased payout for 4 of a Kind when playing 6 coins.

Presently we’re not aware of this game being available at any online casinos.

The variations of this game that we’re aware of offline (all produced by IGT) are Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Double Bonus, Triple Bonus Plus
