Best bonus games

I am a DDB player, have been for a long time and will always like it.  I am heading to Vegas in the near future and would like some suggestions
for other good bonus games.  I am not really interested in DB or regular bonus poker.  I have been thinking about learning strategy for TDB becaue of its big payouts and high payback %.  I would like some feedback about this game or if anyone has any suggestions for other good schedule bonus games that would not be too hard to adapt to from DDB strategy.
 
Help! Too many games, not enough time to learn them all, would like recommendations based on experience, thanks...

TDB is a big payout game if you are lucky.  But beware.  The 3-of-a-kind only pays 2:1 instead of 3:1 as in most games.  You will lose a LOT by missing that one credit on trip hits!

Clwn2 could also try Royal Aces, but that minimum pay for a pair of Aces instead of Jacks is a killer.
 
I play mainly DB and DDB, but when I get wild and crazy I prefer games without kickers, where I'm getting "automatic" higher pays - games like TB+, WHA, SA, etc., that pay more on every bonus quad and I don't have to worry about getting a kicker.

You might also keep an eye out for DD Aces and Faces. It's really the same game is DDB with bonuses for JQK instead of 234, however, DDAF pays back more for the same paytable - almost .5% better than DDB.
 
It can be difficult to find but worth it if you like DDB.

It can be difficult to find but worth it if you like DDB.That extra .5% must be because of the extra card you have to get the kicker when holding JKQ over holding 2,3,4.  I presume the kickers are A,2,3,4 still?

Kickers are JQKA for DDAF. As a result it plays a little more like JoB or DB. Instead of holding just an ace if you two high cards you would hold both cards (most of the time). That way you automatically are holding a kicker. Add to that the additional bonus quads you hit holding single face cards and that raises the payback.

Thanks Shadow.  I remember someone mentioning this game before and could not remember who had mentioned it or what the game was.  Do you know if there are any downtown vegas?

I don't know about downtown. I rarely play there. Tuscany has the game and I know I've seen it elsewhere, but it was not the best game so I didn't keep it in my memory.

How about BP dlx i never here anything about this game. Does anybody play it?. I like it, all you need is a 4 of a kind anything and you've got 400 credits.Sometimes they fire 2, 3 in a row for a quick 800, 1200 credits.
