Aces and Faces (Playtech) Slot Review

As we often say here at Mr Gamez, the beauty of video poker lies in the simplicity and while Aces and Faces is one of the more advanced takes on the standard game – to all intents and purposes that is Jacks or Better – it continues to be the kind of game that you can dive straight into with only the most rudimentary of poker knowledge. Jacks or Better is actually a rather appropriate comparison, as Aces and Faces shares plenty in common so you’ll have an even better head start, and when you throw in the all-round quality that pervades all of Playtech’s video poker games, you can be sure of being onto a winner.

As with all of Playtech’s games in this category, the focus is on keeping things clear and simple, so you can place your bets, draw your cards and collect your prizes with the minimum of fuss. Both coin denominations and credit bets are adjustable, which between them make for a potential betting range of between $0.01 and $25 per hand, with plenty more choices in between. With that out of the way, preferably in consultation with the pay table displayed at the top of the screen, it is time to draw your cards and make a winning hand.

One of Playtech’s Favourites

It is these winning hands that set the game apart from the crowd, and as you’d expect from a game with a name like Aces and Faces, the prize winning capabilities are weighted in favour of hands containing aces and face cards. In comparison to other video poker games, such hands are increased in value, while lower value hands are slightly reduced in terms of the prize value in order to compensate. As with the vast majority of Playtech video poker games, any win can be gambled, with either the full amount or half of it put on the line in an attempt to double it using the standard combination of face up and face down cards.

If you want a video poker game with particularly large winning opportunities on certain hands then Aces and Faces may well be the variant for you. Give it a few hands here on the page or check it out with real cash on offer at the casinos featured at the top of the page, which all carry the Mr Gamez seal of approval.
