Aces & Eights
Also populary known as the Dead Mans Hand due to the fact that these were said to be the cards that the infamous outlaw, Wild Bill Hickok, held just before he was shot to death during a poker match.
The best version of this video poker variant is known as 25/8/5. This is the four of a kind for anything but not aces, eights or sevens pays a total of 25 coins, a full house pays 8 coins and then a flush pays 5 coins.
Usually a full pay aces & eights has an expected value (EV) of 99.78% which is better than 9/6 Jacks or Better.
