Super Aces is another VP version that offers a higher payout for the much-ignored straight flush by upping the payout slightly from 250 to 300. However, here is the really big news--the payout for Four Aces leaps to 2000 credits.
The beauty of this payout is that no fifth card is required, unlike Double Double Bonus where a 2, 3 or 4 must be in place. It is hard to believe, but let me repeat, four aces as in ANY four aces pays 2000 coins.
It should be noted that Super Aces’ total overall average payout is not over 100%; however, it has become a very popular VP version sought after by players who find those 2000 credits just too tempting to resist. Another minus factor is that the full house and flush combination is reduced to only 7/5. Even so, for the players who want to play this super game, I feel it is worthy of mention.
Generally, these ‘super’ versions are found as a game selection on the multi-line, triple play machines.
A sample Super Aces pay-schedule illustration is provided below.

Strategy
Of course, you are always on the lookout for a pair or three aces to hold awaiting the ‘big strike’, but you should also be aware of straight flush possibilities that come your way.
It’s not worth the measly payout for a full-house of 35 coins to save two pair here where one pair is aces.
As mentioned, Super Aces is found at multi-line machines so three aces held give you three chances at a nice payday. In one video poker session, I was profitably surprised to be dealt four aces multiplied by three that resulted in a 6000 coin payout.
By the way, I have a Super Aces tale that will lead you to ask, as I did, “what are the long odds on this happening?”
I noticed a player who had a 6000 payout in front of her with three quad aces, but she had only held three aces and had not been dealt four aces. Think about that, all three hands produced a fourth ace on discard!
Until next we meet, may all your VP choices turn out to be ‘Royalty’ (or 1/2 Royals in the case of Super Aces). |
