Aces Bonus Poker

But in Super Aces, we hold just the Ace and hope for a miracle. The most Ace-intensive game of them all is Triple Double Bonus Poker. Four Aces accompanied by a 2, 3 or 4 is worth 800-for-1-the same 4,000-coin bonanza for a five-coin bet that you'll get on a royal flush. Four Aces without the kicker pays 400-for-1. Aces & Deuces Bonus Poker is a video poker game by Red Rake Gaming. You can learn more about the game, its rules, and how to play it in our article about how to play video poker.

Earlier this year I started playing 8/5 aces and faces at Rincon in order to take advantage of tier bonuses. However they have recently removed nearly all of these full pay games at the lower levels and replaced them with a pay table that pays 1 unit for 2 pair. Due to this I am now looking for the next best game to play. Would 8/5 bonus poker be the next best game to play in terms of lowest variance and highest return?

Assuming the 2 pair pays 2 for 1 on regular 8/5 Bonus, yes. Aces and Faces only adds 0.09% to the 8/5 Bonus game. And now thinking about it, 8/5 Bonus definitely will exist at quarters or 50c since teddys verified that they still have 8/5 Bonus with Double Super Times Pay earlier this month (which is an optional wager). Those machines are multiline, but it's your choice on how many lines to play with the touchscreen. 8/5 Bonus with Double STP is the best game they offer in the casino (99.67%); however, it is quite swingy with a variance worse than DDB. I would probably just play regular 8/5 Bonus if you are looking to keep your variance low unless you were playing dollars, then i might consider the Double STP games with 3-play for quarters. But the variance would definitely go up.
But if you were playing dollars, a lower variance option would be the 3 play quarters without the Double STP bet.

There are still 8/5 Aces and Faces games even at 25-cents. Look in the back of the new video poker area, near the restrooms that were recently opened. There is a kiosk of older Game King uprights. There are also a couple of older Game King uprights also in the other part of the video poker area with 25-cent 8/5 Aces and Faces and you can play these up to $2 per coin. Some of the Bonus games on these same machines are either 8/7 or 7/5 so look carefully.
In the high limit room all of the Aces and Faces are $5 8/5. There is one slant top Game King that still has 8/5 Aces and Faces starting at $1 going up to $5.
Otherwise, you are correct. The new Game Kings have lousy pay tables not only for Aces and Faces but also for Bonus.
By the way, my favorite machine #3116 is still on the casino floor -- in that grouping of old upright Game Kings. It's my favorite because it has the mix of games I like with the good paytables still intact. No, there is no superstitious reason for liking it -- it's just that it has the games.

This was the case in Tunica as well. The new game kings outside high limit were pretty bad. The best they offered was 9/6 DDB or 9/7 DB at $1+. :( Going to Tunica this weekend to see if the few old units left are still there.Super aces bonus poker

Thank you all for your helpful responses thus far. Alan, I understand that there are still a few of them left in the new area but last night when I was there it was very busy. I checked every machine not being played and could not find it on any of them. When I came back a few hours later it had cleared out quite a bit and I was able to find it on a machine. My interest in asking about bonus poker is because I noticed that it is on many more machines and therefore may be a viable alternative when I am unable to get on one of the few remaining machines.
On a side note, what is the probability that the $50,000 winner last night also won the $50,000 drawing a few months ago.

Yeah, it's definitely a viable alternative since the return only drops 0.09%. Strategies don't change much. One of the bigger changes is that KQ > Ace in aces & faces, but not in regular bonus.

I was there last night. I was called twice for $1,000 free play. $2,000 total. Yes, I played at the kiosk of older Game Kings. But the first machine I sat down at (machine 3116 was taken) had 7/5 Bonus. I quickly got up and moved. There is even an old Game King upright with 6/5 Bonus.
I saw the lady who won the 50,000 but I didn't look at the wall of winners photos to see if she was a repeat winner. My guess is she was not a repeater.

A gentleman I was playing craps with was rather upset because he said he was playing with her the last time she won, I believe it was September. But thank you for your input and assistance regarding the two different games.

To the best of my knowledge, unsuited King-Queen is always better than an Ace in standard 8/5 Bonus Poker (1-2-3-4-5-8-25-40-80-50-800).
