Golden Flush Review
About Golden Flush
The Golden Flush video poker game seems too good to be true. It is the creation of Viaden Gaming and there are five jokers in the game. And yet the pay table that Viaden lists is very similar to what you will find in a Jacks or Better game that has no wild cards. You can still collect for just a pair of Jacks and two pair pays back 2-1. What's more, Golden Flush has a bonus game if your hand is a flush. That's in addition to the double-up game you can play, which is also better than the one offered by most other video games.
It's doubtful whether every online casino that offers Golden Flush video poker lets you have all the features plus the quite generous odds that Viaden lists for this game, but the game is so appealing you should certainly try to find it.
Features
The Golden Flush game board has an elegant big-city look to it, with skyscrapers in the distance and expensive cars on both sides. There are also fashionably dressed people walking around in fancy evening clothes. There is a saxophonist seen to the side of the game board. The whole game features some continuous jazz music played by a small combo.
Strategy
Golden Flush has five wild cards, the same as a Deuces Joker video poker game, but since there are 57 cards in the deck for this game instead of 53, they do not come out quite as often. Still, if you can find an online casino that will pay off the suggested odds that Viaden lists, your strategy should be about the same as when you play Jacks or Better. You should try to get at least one high pair or two pair of any kind.
Bonus Game Feature
If you get a flush, you will receive four bonus rounds. Whatever suit you had with your winning flush will pay off a bonus whenever a card of that suit shows up in the bonus rounds. You should make sure you “hold” any card of the suit that will give you the bonus.
The other special game in Golden Flush lets you double up after every winning hand. This game's version of double-up gives you a better chance than you'll find in most current video poker games. You get to choose whether the card is “High,” which means it is a joker, a nine or higher, or if it is “ Low,” between 2 and 8.
