Aces and Eights Video Poker Pay Table
Aces and Eights
No, this isn't "Dead Man's Hand" as you might be thinking. Aces and Eights is one of many modifications of Jacks or Better, the video poker game. It uses an ordinary deck of 52 cards. No wildcards are featured.
Aces or Eights differs from the standard game only in terms of payouts. When you look at an Aces or Eights pay table, you will see there are special payouts for certain hands, particularly quads. You get bonus payouts if you get four aces, four eights or four sevens. A full house and flush are paid at 8/5 like in many Jacks or Better pay tables. The other hands are also typical.
A special feature of Aces and Eights is the option to change your coin denomination. You can choose from $.25, $.50, $1.0 or $5.0 bets. You can bet up to five coins of the same denomination for each hand.
If you love playing for quads, this is the right game for you. Aces or Eights does justice to this rare hand with the bonus payouts. However you should know that Aces or Eights is an extremely volatile game. By volatile, we mean your highs (winning periods) will be very high, and your lows (losing streaks) will be proportionally low as well. This is due to the fact that the lower payouts are smaller and the bigger payouts are bigger. When you get paid, you will be paid handsomely, but you have to wait for it.
