Introduction

The 6-Card Bonus is a side bet found in lots of popular games by Scientific Games (formerly known as Bally Gaming and Shuffle Master before that). This side bet seems to be mostly found at casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment only. There have been multiple pay tables used since at least 2009. This page addressed those that I know about.

Available Games

• Crazy 4 Poker — Based on player's five cards and one dummy card.
• Let it Ride — Based on the three community cards, player's two hole cards, and a 6th dummy card.
• Texas Hold 'Em Bonus — Based on the five community cards and a sixth dummy card.
• Three Card Poker — Based on the dealer's three cards and the player's three cards.
• Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em — Based on the player's two hole cards and four dummy cards.

I'm not sure if it is worthy to include on the list, but there is a blackjack side bet called the Millionaire Maker. It is based on the dealer's cards with a top pay for a six-card straight flush.

Introduction

Bonus Six is a poker based game card game, popular in the casinos of Black Hawk, Colorado. As in five-card stud the player gets cards gradually and must keep raising to stay in or fold. The twist in this game is that if the player buys insurance initially he has the option to buy a sixth card if he needs one. Following are the specifics.

The Rules

1. The game is played with a single deck of cards, which is shuffled after every hand.
2. The player begins by placing an ante bet. The player may also buy insurance at the cost of half the ante bet. The cost of the insurance policy is never returned.
3. Each player receives two cards face down and one community card dealt face up. All players may use the community card as part of their hand.
4. After looking at his cards the player must decide to either bet or fold. If the player folds he forfeits his ante. If player bets he must add to his wager an amount equal to the ante.
5. All players who raised receive a fourth card.
6. Again, all players still in must either bet or fold. If the player folds he loses both his ante and previous bet. If player bets he must add to wager an amount equal to the ante.
7. All players still in receive a fifth card.
8. If the player initially purchases insurance and does not have a paying hand he has the option to buy a sixth card. The cost of the card is equal to the ante. If the player buys the sixth card he may make the best five-card hand among his six cards. The fee for the sixth card is never returned.
9. All players still in are paid according to the pay table below.

Pay Table for Bonus Six

Hand	Payoff
Royal flush	1000 to 1
Straight flush	100 to 1
Four of a kind	50 to 1
Full house	20 to 1
Flush	6 to 1
Straight	4 to 1
Three of a kind	3 to 1
Two pair	2 to 1
High pair (6-ace)	1 to 1

The player should never buy insurance.

With three cards, bet with any of the following hands, otherwise fold. A 'high card' is a six or greater.

1. Any pair, three of a kind
2. Any 3 to a flush
3. 3 to a straight with at least 2 high cards
4. Any 3 high cards

With four cards, bet with any of the following hands, otherwise fold.

1. Any pair, two pair, three of a kind
2. Four to a straight, flush, or straight flush
3. Any 3 high cards

Note that this strategy does not apply if the player buys insurance, which he shouldn't do in the first place.

House Edge

The house edge is 10.42%. To be exact it is 5,417,544/51,979,200. The average bet size is 1.93 units which makes the element of risk 5.41%. If the player buys insurance and plays the appropriate insurance strategy the house edge is 23.83%, with an average bet size of 3.71 units, for an element of risk of 6.42%.The following table shows the number of times in each combination 51,979,200 hands that each event is expected to happen, the probability, and the contribution to the player's return when the player does not buy insurance.
