Aces Bonus Poker

Thread Rating:

Information and images for the Slot Machine: Ace$ Bonus Poker released by IGT in 1996.

  1. ACE$ Bonus Poker The two most common and popular games in video poker are Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker. There are only a few differences between the game rules. Like these other 2 games, ACE$ Bonus is a five card draw style video poker game.
  2. Uptown Aces is powered by Real Time Gaming, offering the latest in their slots, table games, progressive bonus games, video poker and specialty games. Because the games come only from Real Time Gaming you won’t see as much variety as you see from other casinos but the sheer number of bonuses that Uptown Aces offers does more than make up for.

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.

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.
As for the drawing, it's hard to say without a lot more details.

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).

For Europe, they include the UK Gambling Commission, ARJEL in France, AAMS in Italy, Spanish Gaming Commission, Gibraltar Licensing Authority, Isle of Man Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and more. Other licensing jurisdictions including the Curacao Internet Gambling Association.
  • Fair Game Auditing: Fair gaming is important, and we look at whether or not a site publishes their return to player percentages and which company audits their RNG. Some of these third-party companies include eCOGRA, TST, and iTech Labs. A seal of approval from any of these will tell you that the games being offered are fair.
  • Customer Service: Another important element is customer support and if you have any problems you need to be able to get help right away. We check for 24/7 support via live chat, email, and toll-free telephone. We test the customer support too to see how quickly our questions are answered and how professional the staff are. We also look at the gambling website to see if there is a FAQs section and more information available.
  • Welcome Bonus: The best online casino is going to offer a great sign up bonus. For risk-free gaming, the no deposit cash or free spins bonus is the preferred choice. We also look at the deposit bonus to make sure it boosts your bankroll and has fair wagering requirements and terms and conditions.
  • Regular Promotions: We look for reload promotions, cashback bouses, loyalty programs and more. We check the promotion page of the casino website for daily/weekly/monthly special promotions such as free spins, slot tournaments, special prize giveaways and more. We believe all players deserved to be rewarded. Ongoing promotions are essential for returning players. We make sure that the best online casinos always have many bonus deals that can eb redeemed and new promotions that are featured regularly.
  • Games Selection: This is another very important factor when choose the best online casino. There should be a wide range of games spread across all categories such as slots, table games, video poker, live dealer tables, and speciality games. It is important to look at the software provider as well and to make sure the games you want to play are available in your country of residence. Not all software providers have licenses to operate in every country.
  • Banking Options: There should be a number of different options available for both deposits and withdrawals and these should be country friendly too. We check withdrawal times as well as any fees that might be charged. We make sure there are banking methods that can be used by all players to redeem bonuses and that they all offer secure processing.
  • Mobile Optimization: More and more people prefer to play on their mobile devices, so it is essential that the best online casino is fully optimized for mobile gaming. We look for dedicated apps for both iOS and Android users as well as ensuring a no download instant play option is available for those who prefer to use their mobile browser. You can be sure that all mobile platforms are just as secure as the main site, so you can safely play real money games, enjoy bonus offers, and conduct transactions with no worries.
