The most profitable strategy in 8/5 Super Aces Bonus, a variant, is
AKQJ
'KQ9', 'KJ9', 'QJ8'
When you look at the combinations - 'KQ9' 'and 'QJ8' - you will find that they come under the category of two high cards and two insides. In case the other two cards are low, the value of the hands will be the same. The two hands mentioned above make a straight flush worth $3.21 in 9/6, the Jacks or Better variant. However, in the 8/5 Bonus variant, they are worth $3.11. This difference is due to the fact that the value of the flush is $30 in 9/6 Jacks and in 8/5 Bonus, it is only $25. Despite the parity in the value of the flush in 8/5 bonus and 8/5 super aces bonus, the strategy employed is different. This is because of the fact that the value of all the 3-card straight flushes is reduced by 8¢. Hence, two pairs are worth $5 and not $10.
Like all video poker games, you will be dealt 5 cards from a 52-card deck by the dealer or the machine. You can decide to keep or discard any of the cards or all of them. And, you would get a replacement card for the cards you discard. The payout is made after the machine indicates a winning hand on the video screen. The hands are played based on their corresponding payouts displayed on your screen. You would want to find out the pay line of the winning cards before you start playing.
When you have decided which cards to discard and which ones to keep, you have to press the ‘hold’ button on the video screen, followed by the ‘draw’ button. In certain cases, the hold and draw buttons are combined. When you have pressed the draw button, you will receive your payout if you have a winning hand.
The betting is done with a minimum of 1 coin and a maximum of 5 coins. Players who look to make the maximum winnings usually bet with the maximum of 5 coins. The payouts for a winning hand will vary depending on the number of coins you have bet.
