Standard video poker titles are available in quarter, half-dollar, and dollar denominations. The pay tables improve at the $1 denomination. For example, $1 Bonus Poker pays 7:5 instead of the 6:5 at lower denominations. Double Bonus pays 5:1 on a straight at a $1 bill, instead of 4:1 at lower limits. Double Double Bonus improves from 8:5 to 9:5 at $1. Each game improved one pay-table tier at $1. The $1 games at Hollywood tie for the best value in video poker games that we found at any of the four West Virginia racetracks.
