Aces & Eights Video Poker

In Aces and Eights, eleven standard hand combinations will award wins based on the paytable that is located above the playing area. However, with the addition of the extra four of a kind wins that number increases to 22 as wins will be awarded for four of a kind combinations of two through six, nine, ten, jacks, queens and kings.

To commence gameplay, select the denomination you wish to wager, the number of coins you wish to play per hand and then click on the deal button. Cards will be dealt face-up and can result in winning combination. After the cards have been dealt, you will have the option to choose which cards you wish to hold, and which you wish to be re-dealt with the hopes of improving the hand dealt.

The lowest paying hand combination is jacks or better; this is traditional with most variants of video poker. Following jacks or better, two pair, three of a kind and a straight will result in a win. A flush, full house, “other” four of kinds, four of a kind sevens and four of a kind aces or eights will award wins of two coins to 400 coins. The number of coins won will depend on the number of wagered coins.

Finally, a straight flush and a Royal Flush complete the available possible hand combinations. A straight flush offers payouts ranging from 50 coins to 250, and a Royal Flush, the largest paying hand combination awards between 250 to 4000 coins. As you can see from the range of coin wins, the best strategy is to play max coins, even if that requires you to adjust the coin size to make it affordable for your bankroll.
