Aces and Eights Pay Table Analysis

Aces and Eights is a bit of a rare video poker variation, but if you do find the game it is important to know which pay tables pay the most. This page analyzes each common Aces and Eights pay table, and also calculates the maximum payout percentages for each table.

Keep in mind that the payout percentages listed on this table assume that a player is using perfect Aces and Eights strategy, and also is betting five coins per hand so they receive the bonus on a Royal Flush. We'll start by summarizing each pay table in the chart below, then we'll go over each Aces and Eights pay table in depth later down the page:

Pay Table	Payout Percentage*
Full Pay Aces and Eights	99.78%
70/70/20 Aces and Eights**	98.72%
7 Aces and Eights**	98.63%
20/7 Aces and Eights	97.72%
6 Aces and Eights**	97.49%

*Please note that the pay percentages above were calculated assuming that the player was betting five coins per hand and playing with optimal strategy.

**These pay tables are very rare and are hardly ever offered in live or online casinos. You'll usually see Full Pay or 20/7 Aces and Eights.

Full Pay Aces and Eights - 99.78%

Full Pay Aces and Eights is the best pay table offered for the game. You'll notice that Four of a Kind Aces or Eights have a large bonus on them, thus the title of the game. Four of a Kind Sevens also receive a smaller yet still substantial bonus. Here is the pay table for full pay Aces and Eights:

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	800
Four Aces or Eights	80
Straight Flush	50
Four Sevens	50
Four of a Kind	25
Full House	8
Flush	5
Straight	4
Three of a Kind	3
Two Pair	2
Pair (Jacks or Better)	1

Please note that you must bet five coins per hand to receive the payout percentage listed above. If you do not bet five coins per hand you won't receive the Royal Flush bonus, and your pay percentage will suffer.

70/70/20 Aces and Eights - 98.72%

70/70/20 Aces and Eights is a very rare variant of the game, but is the best low-pay version out there. This variation increases the Straight Flush payout, but decreases the Four of a Kind payouts for Aces and Eights. Also, the general Four of a Kind payout is decreased, which reduces the total payout percentage to 98.72%.

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	800
Four Aces or Eights	70
Straight Flush	70
Four Sevens	50
Four of a Kind	20
Full House	8
Flush	5
Straight	4
Three of a Kind	3
Two Pair	2
Pair (Jacks or Better)	1

7 Aces and Eights - 98.63%

7 Aces and Eights is another rare variation of the game, but it can be found at a few Las Vegas casinos. This game uses the same pay table as full pay Aces and Eights, except Full House payouts are cut to 7x instead of 8x. This reduces the overall payout percentage to 98.63%.

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	800
Four Aces or Eights	80
Straight Flush	50
Four Sevens	50
Four of a Kind	25
Full House	7
Flush	5
Straight	4
Three of a Kind	3
Two Pair	2
Pair (Jacks or Better)	1

20/7 Aces and Eights - 97.72%

20/7 Aces and Eights is the most common variation of Aces and Eights, because it offers the house a significant advantage over the players. In 20/7 Aces and Eights, the general four of a kind payout as well as the full house payout are slashed, leaving the game with only a 97.72% return. Here is the full pay table:

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	800
Four Aces or Eights	80
Straight Flush	50
Four Sevens	50
Four of a Kind	20
Full House	7
Flush	5
Straight	4
Three of a Kind	3
Two Pair	2
Pair (Jacks or Better)	1

6 Aces and Eights - 97.49%

6 Aces and Eights is the worst version of the game we've ever come across. In this game, the Full House payout is decreased from 8x to 6x, and since Full Houses are relatively common hands, this decreases significantly hurts the payout percentage. Here's the table:

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	800
Four Aces or Eights	80
Straight Flush	50
Four Sevens	50
Four of a Kind	25
Full House	6
Flush	5
Straight	4
Three of a Kind	3
Two Pair	2
Pair (Jacks or Better)	1

The above Aces and Eights pay tables cover everything you should see at an Aces and Eights machine. However, if you find a pay table that isn't listed here, assume that is is a poor pay table, especially if any of the more common hands have low payouts.
