Aces And Faces Video Poker Review
About Aces And Faces Video Poker
This video poker game is produced by Microgaming and perhaps the only difference between this game and a Jacks or better game is in the pay table. With Aces and faces in the title, you can count on better payoffs if you end up with those cards in your hand.
This version of Aces And Faces has a minimum bet of £0.25 and a maximum bet of £5.00 on the game's one line. As in most video poker games, the largest payoff is for a Royal Flush. It pays 500-1 for one or two coins, almost 700-1 for three coins, 750-1 for four coins and if you bet the maximum five coins, you'll get 800-1.That largest possible payoff is 4,000 coins, which is the number in bright red which takes up a good part of the screen.
Features
The game board for Microgaming's Aces And Faces Video Poker is in bright glowing colors, including orange and several shades of blue and red. All of the betting options and actions for the game are found at the bottom of the screen below the five cards. The pay table and the game's insignia take up the top half of the screen.
Strategy
In order to compensate for the higher payoffs for the Aces and the faces, you'll get a little less for some hands than you would in most jacks or better video poker games. The differences should change your strategy when playing this version.
There is extra money if you get four-of-a-kind with face cards and even more for four Aces. There is less money for flushes and straights. Your decisions as to what cards to hold or discard should be adjusted so you can go after the better odds and bigger payoffs.
Bonus Game Features
There is a gamble game offered in Microgaming's Aces And Faces. It is available after every winning hand. If you choose to play the game rather than collect your winnings, you will be shown a card face-up and then be given a choice of four other cards. If you can pick one with a higher value, you win. If you pick one with the same value, you will have the option to play again or just collect your winnings. If you lose in the gamble game, your bet is lost and your only option is to click the DEAL button to play another hand.
