A bonus feature that gives you extra shots at four of a kind. Small twist, same core game.
Quick Quads is a bonus feature added on top of standard video poker games. The base game plays normally — you're dealt five cards, hold what you want, draw to complete your hand. The Quick Quads bonus kicks in on specific situations involving three-of-a-kind draws.
The feature gives you extra chances to complete a four of a kind beyond the standard single draw. Depending on the machine, this might mean drawing again from the remaining cards, or it might involve a separate bonus round to try to complete the quad. The exact mechanic varies by machine and software version.
Typically, when you hold three of a kind and draw two cards, Quick Quads gives you additional draw opportunities specifically targeted at completing the quad. If neither of your two draws completes four of a kind, the feature might offer one more attempt on a single card. The exact sequence varies by machine — check the game's rules screen before you play.
The hold strategy for Quick Quads is essentially the same as the base game. You're still trying to make the best hand from your deal. The bonus just gives you extra draws when you're already on the right track (holding three of a kind).
The bonus feature doesn't mean you should start holding weak three-of-a-kind situations you'd normally break up. Play your standard strategy — the Quick Quads bonus rewards good play naturally without requiring any adjustment.
Quick Quads is available as a feature on top of several base games, including Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, and Double Bonus. The base game paytable and rules stay the same — Quick Quads is purely an add-on feature that doesn't alter the base game structure.
You'll find it on IGT Game King machines at many major casinos. Look for the "Quick Quads" designation on the game screen or in the menu. The availability varies by casino and machine configuration.
Quick Quads is a player-friendly feature — more shots at four of a kind is always good. Play the same strategy you would in the base game, enjoy the extra draws when the bonus triggers, and don't overthink it. It's one of the lighter-touch variants in video poker.
