If a machine has Bonus Poker and Aces and Faces, we recommend playing Aces and Faces (if the pay tables are identical). The reason for this is that the Aces and Faces variation will return about 0.1% better to the player because the special four of a kind hands are aces, kings, queens and jacks in Aces and Faces. All of those combinations are winning pairs, so there are more opportunities to hit those quads due to the fact that they are held more often. The special four of a kind hands in Bonus Poker are aces, twos, threes and fours.
Aces and Faces is found on IGT Game King machines and is never found on a standalone machine. It will typically be located with a large variety of other video poker games. It can also be found at a few online casinos.
How to play Aces and Faces
Find your preferred denomination on a machine, keeping in mind that you should always wager five coins per hand to get the best return. This theoretically improves your odds by more than 1% of your total coin-in. The lowest denomination is usually quarter at land-based casinos and nickel at online casinos. To bet five coins, click max bet and the cards will appear. To bet fewer, click bet one the proper amount and click deal.
Once you receive cards, choose the ones that you would like to keep by clicking on them or the corresponding button below it. Once you have picked the cards that you would like to hold, click the draw button. The game will replace the discards with fresh ones. It will then pay out according to the pay tables below.
When you’re ready to leave, click the cashout button and the machine will print you a ticket or online casino will transfer the funds to your cashier.
