Anyone out there dabble in creating a strategy for 8-5 ACE$ Bonus
Poker? This is an offshoot of 8-5 Bonus Poker, providing an
additional 4,000 coin bonus for 4 special aces arranged in sequence,
either ACE$- or -ACE$. This game returns 99.41% compared to 99.17%
for 8-5 Bonus Poker.As instructed in Wizard of Odds, I took Jean Scott's Frugal Video
Poker program and produced 5 different strategies using the different
paybacks for 4 Aces, using 80 coins for Aces in wrong position, 94
coins for NO Aces at all (basic 8-5 strategy), 110 coins for 1 Ace in
position, 200 for 2 Aces in position and 440 for 3 Aces in position.
Fine, that I did and I have 5 separate little strategies for each of
these ace positions.But, am I right to presume that I need to use each strategy
SEPARATELY in conjunction with the 5 different Aces positions, as
listed above in the Wizard of Odds link? Or is there is a single
strategy that would combine all of these Ace positions?Of interest, in comparing the 5 different strategies, the only REAL
difference I see in play is when you have 3 Aces in position vs. a
PAT Full House - there you would break up the Full House. This
differs from the basic 8-5 Bonus Poker strategy. But with 2 Aces in
position you would keep the Full House, just like in 8-5 Bonus Poker.
I could be missing something, but this is what I am seeing.Any feedback out there would really be great. I initially assumed the
strategy for ACE$ Bonus Poker would be roughly the same as 8-5 Bonus
Poker, because catching the 4 aces in sequence (either ACE$- or -ACE$)
is such a rare occurence.John Hunady

Wow Bonus ACE$ still exists somewhere.
There used to be a coin-clunking $1 bank in the Edgewater in Laughlin. The
ACE$ and the royal were on meters.
I do believe a member of this group hit the ACE$ at about $43k. I used to
make my trip potshot $1 donation on this bank when it was ripe enough in the
olden' days.
