How to play
Super Aces is a bonus poker game with one obsession. Four Aces pay 400 per credit, five times what Bonus Poker pays for them, and at 5 credits that’s 2,000, half a royal flush. Every strategy choice in this game leans toward Aces.
Underneath, it’s ordinary single-hand draw poker with a 52-card deck shuffled before each deal. Set your bet with Bet one (1 to 5 credits) and Deal, or press Bet max to deal at 5. Tap the cards you’ll keep so they show Held, then Draw to replace the rest.
You get 1,000 virtual credits to play with, plus 1,000 free whenever you run out. Hint, after an optional ad, marks the hold with the best expected return, found by checking every hold against every possible draw.
Pay table
| Hand | Per credit | At 5 credits |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 250 | 4,000 |
| Straight Flush | 60 | 300 |
| Four Aces | 400 | 2,000 |
| Four 2s, 3s or 4s | 80 | 400 |
| Four 5s through Kings | 50 | 250 |
| Full House | 8 | 40 |
| Flush | 5 | 25 |
| Straight | 4 | 20 |
| Three of a Kind | 3 | 15 |
| Two Pair | 1 | 5 |
| Jacks or Better | 1 | 5 |
Four Aces outpay the straight flush more than six to one. That’s unusual: on most tables the straight flush sits above every quad.
The numbers
Perfect play at 5 credits returns 99.94%, calculated exactly across all deals and holds. Under that play:
- Four Aces come up about once every 4,200 hands, more often than in Bonus Poker because you’ll keep Aces in spots where other games would let them go.
- A straight flush about once every 9,700 hands.
- A royal about once every 39,000.
- A paying hand on roughly 44.8% of deals.
Much of the return is concentrated in that 2,000-credit hand, so sessions swing. You can play a few thousand hands without seeing four Aces and then hit two in an evening.
Strategy
The idea is simple: an Ace is worth more here than in any other bonus game, so you keep Aces more often. Some specific hands, checked against the game’s exact hold values:
Aces up (A♣ A♦ 8♣ 8♠ 5♥). Throw the 8s. Holding just the Aces is worth about 2.41 per credit; keeping two pair only about 1.60. Two pair pays 1, and the Aces have a real shot at 400.
A full house of Aces (A♣ A♦ A♥ 9♠ 9♣). Break it without a second thought. Three Aces are worth about 20 per credit; the full house pays 8.
An Ace with a suited Queen (A♣ Q♣ and three unrelated cards). Hold A-Q suited. The royal draw plus the Ace’s own value beats the Ace alone.
A-K of different suits. Hold only the Ace. Most bonus games would keep both high cards, but here a lone Ace (about 0.50) beats A-K (about 0.46). A King in the hold takes away draws that could bring more Aces.
Three Aces with a low kicker. Hold the three Aces. There’s no kicker bonus in Super Aces; the fourth Ace pays 400 whatever comes with it.
Away from Aces, most hands play like any 8/5 bonus table. Bet 5 credits so the royal pays 4,000, and use Hint to learn where an Ace should be kept alone.
