Face the Ace

Description and Objective

Face the Ace is a video poker game that provides high payouts for combinations of four Aces and four Face cards. Face cards include all Jacks, Queens and Kings. The game is played with a 52-card deck, shuffled after each round. Once a player places a bet of one or more credits, he is dealt five cards. A player can hold and replace his cards only once.

The objective is to get the best-paying hand listed in the pay table. The lowest paying hand is a pair of Jacks.

Multi-Line Face the Ace

Multi-Line Face the Ace is played with multiple decks, each consisting of 52 cards. The number of decks is the same as the number of hands involved in the game. Each line is treated as a separate hand. All the winning hands are paid according to the paytable, so the winning amount is cumulative.

Single-Line Game Rules

The Dealer draws a face-up card and you are dealt 4 face-down cards to select from.

Select one of the 4 face-down cards by clicking it.
a) Should you draw a card of higher value than the Dealer's, your win amount is doubled and you can choose either to double again or collect your winnings. If you draw a card of value equal to the Dealer's, your win amount remains the same but you can choose either to double again or collect your winnings. You are allowed to double up to 5 times.

b) If you choose a card of lower value than the Dealer's, you lose your original bet and the playoff round is over.
