Five Aces Poker

Introduction

Five Aces is a video poker variation in which, you guessed it, there are five aces. The fifth ace has a suit of a star. There are three major variations that I know of as follows.

  • Bonus Poker: Roughly follows normal bonus poker pay table, starting at jacks or better, with additional pay for five aces. I believe that game calls this game "Jacks or Better" although I think "Bonus Poker" is more appropriate.
  • Double Bonus: Roughly follows the double bonus pay table, except starts at aces or better, and additional pay for five aces.
  • Double Double Bonus: Roughly follows the Double Double Bonus pay table, except starts at aces or better, and additional pay for five aces.
