Aces and 8’s is a great Real Time Gaming casino video poker game that has a real feel of poker with a few slight variations. The sounds and graphics are nice and the room is a little smoky, which gives you the feel of a real poker room. The payout structure of Aces and 8’s is what makes it different than other types of video poker games. There are 2 hands in the game Aces and 8’s that will pay out more than in other games.

In typical video poker games you usually do not win with a 2 Pair or Jacks or Better, which makes Aces and 8’s a different kind of video poker game.
When you play Aces and 8’s you have to first make a bet and the betting denominations in the game are 5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, $1, and $5. There are other betting denominations if you play multiple hands in the game with 1 credit, which are 1 cent, 5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1.

When you are dealt your cards you have to then make a choice on what cards to keep and what cards to discard in order to make the best poker hand possible.
