Aces Bonus Poker
Thread Rating:
Mar 6, 2021 Uptown Aces has a $20 Free Chip for new players with No Deposit. 100 Free Spins or $10 Free Chip and 400% Bonus with your first deposit. Extra bonus payout that players receive for 4 Aces, 2s, 3s, or 4s accompanied with a 'kicker' (a specific fifth card that is in the same hand as the 4 of a Kind). With an 8/5 pay table, Bonus Poker returns 99.2% with expert play, while the ACES version returns 99.4%. Still, that’s a little extra return with no extra risk. It would seem reasonable for the ACES machines to draw more players than the Bonus Poker machines.

But if you were playing dollars, a lower variance option would be the 3 play quarters without the Double STP bet.
In the high limit room all of the Aces and Faces are $5 8/5. There is one slant top Game King that still has 8/5 Aces and Faces starting at $1 going up to $5.
Otherwise, you are correct. The new Game Kings have lousy pay tables not only for Aces and Faces but also for Bonus.
By the way, my favorite machine #3116 is still on the casino floor -- in that grouping of old upright Game Kings. It's my favorite because it has the mix of games I like with the good paytables still intact. No, there is no superstitious reason for liking it -- it's just that it has the games.

This was the case in Tunica as well. The new game kings outside high limit were pretty bad. The best they offered was 9/6 DDB or 9/7 DB at $1+. :( Going to Tunica this weekend to see if the few old units left are still there.
On a side note, what is the probability that the $50,000 winner last night also won the $50,000 drawing a few months ago.
Thank you all for your helpful responses thus far. Alan, I understand that there are still a few of them left in the new area but last night when I was there it was very busy. I checked every machine not being played and could not find it on any of them. When I came back a few hours later it had cleared out quite a bit and I was able to find it on a machine. My interest in asking about bonus poker is because I noticed that it is on many more machines and therefore may be a viable alternative when I am unable to get on one of the few remaining machines.

Yeah, it's definitely a viable alternative since the return only drops 0.09%. Strategies don't change much. One of the bigger changes is that KQ > Ace in aces & faces, but not in regular bonus.
As for the drawing, it's hard to say without a lot more details.

I was there last night. I was called twice for $1,000 free play. $2,000 total. Yes, I played at the kiosk of older Game Kings. But the first machine I sat down at (machine 3116 was taken) had 7/5 Bonus. I quickly got up and moved. There is even an old Game King upright with 6/5 Bonus.
I saw the lady who won the 50,000 but I didn't look at the wall of winners photos to see if she was a repeat winner. My guess is she was not a repeater.

To the best of my knowledge, unsuited King-Queen is always better than an Ace in standard 8/5 Bonus Poker (1-2-3-4-5-8-25-40-80-50-800).
