Dick, I believe the only times you throw an ace away in Ace Invaders
is when going for a four card Straight Flush or a Royal Flush.

AND

In Ace Invaders do not hold other high cards with the Ace unless you
are going for a three card Royal Flush. Never hold unsuited high
cards with the Ace. Always hold the two pair even if one pair is
aces.

On another note, as one who worked closely with Leading Edge Design
and IGT in developing Ace Invaders, the online version of the game
plays fair and on average you can expect the same frequency of hands
on the internet version and the casino version. Almost everyone of
my friends that has played Ace Invaders in the caisnos has hit the
Five Aces. It is a frequent hit of about every 1700 games.

AND

In Ace Invaders I always keep a four card flush with an ace. The
only four card straights I keep are 2,3,4,5 and T,J,Q,K because they
both get an extra chance of improving by having the ace fall into
place.

AND

I want to correct some information I gave out in an earlier post.

In Ace Invaders if you have two pair and one pair is Aces, just keep
the pair of Aces. It is a huge EV difference. I was thinking of
the scenario where you have two pair and an Ace, in that scenario
you keep all five cards (as strange as it seems).

AND

For Ace Invaders it is correct to keep all five cards when dealt two
pair and an ace. Also if you have three of a kind and an ace, keep
all four cards.

Three to a royal is a better hold than a single ace.

AND

Ace Invaders is currently only available at Mirage, Boulder Station,
and Santa Fe in Las Vegas. It is available at Western Village in
Reno.

Mirage and Boulder Station have quarter, half, and dollar denoms
available. Santa Fe has it in nickel, dime, and quarter.

Am I missing something. In one place you say hold another pair with
aces then you say don't. Also has anyone posted playable paytables?
