About Aces and Eights

Aces and Eights is a video poker variant from Microgaming that centers on hand rankings and draw mechanics. The game uses a standard 52-card deck with a single hand dealt to the player. After the initial five-card deal, players select which cards to hold and which to discard. The machine then draws replacements, and the final hand determines the payout based on the paytable. Aces and eights function as premium cards in the hand ranking system, with certain combinations of these cards triggering bonus payouts. The player's decisions during the hold phase directly impact expected value, making card selection the primary strategic element.
