Pay Aces

Gayle Mitchell
This
lesson at Learn to Play Video Poker
explores Pay Aces, a unique version of Video Poker.
Get
ready for an unusual pay schedule and the sounds of dropping coins as
you are paid on the spot for Aces with no Faces while playing at
this game.
Additionally, there is an increased payout
of 5000
coins for a Royal
Flush dealt.
I
have separated the Pay Aces paytable into two parts; one part
to highlight
the Ace w/Face pays plus other hands and the other for Ace w/no Face
and Dealt
Royal hands.
I
also highlight the good and bad payouts for this novelty 8/5

version.
8/5 refers to an 8
coin return for a full-house when betting one-coin and 5
coin return for a
flush.

Are
you also
holding your nose at the quad payouts above and the paltry 8/5
paytable?
That’s the bad news: reduced pays—‘tis
the price
you pay for the
following payouts.
Secondly,
these are the return credits you receive when playing the max.

Pay Aces Strategy:
You
are on the hunt for Aces and that huge payday of 7500 coins and/or a
Royal dealt that is not too shabby.
You
will hold only Aces when dealt a full house, thereby reaching for a
better payout.
Additionally,
you only hold the Ace and when you have 1 or 2 high
cards—King, Queen or Jack that is not suited.
The average return is not over 100% and I would suggest that you think
of this video poker version as the true novelty that it is—fun
to play
occasionally.
