About Aces and Eights
Aces and Eights plays like traditional video poker. You start with five cards on the screen. You pick which cards to keep and which ones to replace. The game draws new cards to fill the gaps you created. Your final hand gets compared to the paytable, and you win based on what you have. The game focuses on poker hand rankings, so pairs, three-of-a-kind, and straights all pay different amounts. The name comes from the fact that aces and eights have special importance in the paytable structure.
