Get ready for another unusual pay schedule and the sounds of dropping coins as you are paid on the spot for Aces with no Faces.
I have separated the pay schedule into two parts, one part to highlight the Ace w/no Face pays plus top payouts and the other for the rest of the payouts.
I also highlight the good and bad of this novelty VP version.
| Pair--Jacks or Better |
returns the bet |
5 coins |
| Two pair (2 PR) |
returns the bet |
5 coins |
| Three-of-a-kind (3/kind) |
pays 2-1 |
10 coins |
| Straight (ST) (sequence, not same suit) |
pays 4-1 |
20 coins |
| Flush (FL) (non-sequential, same suit) |
pays 5-1 |
25 coins |
| Full house (FH) (3 of a kind and a pair) |
pays 8-1 |
40 coins |
| Four-of-a-kind (quad) fives to kings |
pays 25-1 |
125 coins |
| Four-of-a-kind (quad) 2’s, 3’s or 4’s. |
pays 40-1 |
200 coins |
| Four Aces with Faces |
pays 80-1 |
400 coins |
| Straight flush (SF) (in sequence, same suit) |
pays 50-1 |
250 coins |
| Royal flush (RF) (except with max. coins) |
pays 250-1 |
4000 coins |
Are you also holding your nose at the quads you see and the paltry 8/5 paytable?
That’s the bad news: reduced pays—‘tis the price you pay for the following payouts.
Second, these are the return credits you receive when playing the max.
| One Ace w/ no Faces |
5 coins |
| Two Aces w/ no Faces |
10 coins |
| Three Aces w/ no Faces |
250 coins |
| Four Aces w/ no Faces |
7500 coins |
| Royal flush (RF) Dealt |
5000 coins |
Strategy: you are on the hunt again for Aces and that huge payday of 7500 coins and/or a Royal dealt that is not too shabby.
However, it must be said again that the average return is not over 100% and I would suggest that you think of this game as the true novelty that it is. Fun, but not likely to be profitable.
The next VP game is the multi-hand versions that are the most exciting and innovative VP trend ever.
Multi-Hand VP
I’m sure you know the multi-hand drill by now. As with standard video poker, you’re dealt five cards, you may hold from zero to all five. The cards you keep appear in all the other hands as you discard/deal.
Multi-hand VP can feature three, five, ten, fifty, even one hundred hands per bet.
A hefty bankroll is required where a quarter, five play machine can cost you a bet of $6.25 per spin, ($1.25 x 5 = $6.25).
Rarely will you find full-pay VP pay schedules at Multi-Hand play, however, when you do, I highly recommend them I also suggest play at sky-high progressive Royals on any individual hand or, even better, when you are dealt a Royal for a total return that will leave you reeling. Now, that’s what I call multiple rewards.
Strategies for Multi-hand games are the same as any particular single payline version.
Even though the paytables are reduced, you should continue to practice optimum strategy.
Until we meet again to continue your VP education, may all your VP choices turn out to be ‘royalty’.
