How to Play Super Aces Super Triple Play Video Poker

Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker allows video poker players to approach the game a bit differently from the standard format. On the one hand, you can play more than one hand at once, considerably speeding up the action. In addition, you can make an extra bet to pump up the payment for four of a kind combinations in significant fashion.

There is a video poker variation available for just about every variation on play. Many people like to keep it simple and play Jacks or Better. That was the original video poker format and is still the most popular version of the game for beginners.

But more advanced players sometimes like the idea of changing it up a bit. For one thing, playing just a single hand at a time can get a bit tedious. On top of that, a Jacks or Better pay table makes it difficult for you to hit a big payback on a single hand, instead forcing you to grind out your winnings.

Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker alleviates all of those concerns in a single game. It’s a version of video poker that can be found in casinos and also is a staple of real money online casinos. And it really puts a charge into play when you compare it to basic, single-hand Jacks or Better action.

First of all, Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker has a bit of a deceiving name, because it is not just Triple Play action that you’ll get. You can actually play three, five, or 10 hands all at once. That means more chances to win in a shorter amount of time playing the game.

In addition, Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker feature a pay table that really amps up your chances to win big in a hurry. If you bet one through five coins, you’ll be playing with a pay table that is similar to the basic Super Aces pay table. It gives you increased payback for four of a kind, especially four aces, as the name suggests.

But Super Triple Play is a format that allows you to wager six coins per hand. When you do that, you open up a separate Super Aces pay table that goes even further with the payback for some of the top winning hands. In fact, if you end up with four aces on a six-coin bet in Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker, you can win as much as if you hit a royal flush, which is a much rare hand to achieve. For those seeking jackpots, it’s hard to top this game.

And you have to accept that it will be a very volatile way to play, meaning that your bankroll could sink if the hands don’t go your way. But if you’re willing to meet the betting requirements to play the game at its best, this can be a rewarding video poker game.

Basic Video Poker Step by Step

Step 1: Your Bankroll

A bankroll is the necessary starting point of the video poker process. Without it, you couldn’t make bets and win money in return. In the case of video poker, you build your bankroll by either inserting money (on a machine) or funding a gambling account (at a gambling website).

Your bankroll will be displayed on the screen in units of credits or coins. Each credit or coin will have a value equal to the denomination you’re playing. For example, if you put $100 into a 25-cent video poker machine, you’ll have 40 credits to start (10 divided by .25 = 40).

Step 2: Your Bet

When you’re playing a basic single-hand version of video poker, your bet will between one and five coins per hand. But we’ve already explained that Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker is a bit of a twist on the basic format. And that will affect your wagers.

First of all, you’ll be playing three, five, or 10 hands at once on a screen. You have to make a bet on each hand to activate the game. And you’ll choose how many hands you want to play.

Here is what that means in terms of coins per round of Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker:

• 3 hands = 18 coins
• 5 hands = 30 coins
• 10 hands = 60 coins

It’s not a must that you bet six coins per hand. But if you bet less, you won’t get the special Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker. And that will limit the amount you can win.

If you want to bet less while still getting the maximum payback percentage, see if you can find a lower denomination. That will keep the actual amount of the bet down, while the rate of payback remains unchanged.

Once you make your wager, the amount that you bet will be deducted from your bankroll when the hand begins. That also means the amount that you bet is included in any potential winnings you might earn for hands that you achieve.

Step 3: Your Hand

Before you can understand the multiple-hand action at the heart of Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker, you have to be able to handle a single hand at once. That’s what we’ll focus on here, before explaining how that factors in to multiple hands at once.

It’s accurate to say that video poker is basically a simulated version of the card game known as Five-Card Draw. Five-Card Draw features a five-card deal, a decision made by the player about what cards to hold and discard, and a draw where the player gets cards to replace the discards. Video poker works the same way.

In both games, the object is to create the best possible poker combination after the deal and draw. But Five-Card Draw poker, as a multiple-player game, requires you to form a substantial poker hand to win the pot. Barring that, you need to bluff other players into folding in order to come out on top.

But video poker only requires that you come up with one of the winning combinations on the pay table for you to get some return. Here are the winning combinations you’ll be seeking to make when playing Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker:

• Pair of jacks or better
• Two pair
• Three of a kind
• Straight (five cards of consecutive rank, like 3-4-5-6-7)
• Flush (five cards of same suit)
• Full house (three of a kind and two pair in the same hand)
• Four of a kind
• Straight flush (straight with five cards of same suit)
• Royal flush (ten, jack, queen, king, and ace of the same suit)

These hands are listed from top to bottom in terms of the likelihood you’ll achieve them when playing. In other words, a pair of jacks or better is easy to achieve, while a royal flush is the rarest hand of all. Hands at the bottom of the list pay the most, which means that you have to accept more risk for more reward when trying for winning combinations.

The Deal

It’s important to understand that every deal and draw in video poker is completely random. Any trends or patterns on a machine or online game are accidental, and there are no cards that will be “due” because they haven’t shown up in a while. Random number generator software inside video poker games keep cards shuffling at all times.

The cards that appear on your screen will be sourced from a simulated 52-card deck containing the same cards as a standard deck. When these cards are “dealt,” the remaining 47 in the deck start shuffling again and wait for the draw. And when the hand is over, the 52 cards are back in the deck and the shuffling starts up again until the next deal.

The Decision

You’ll have to assess the five cards on your screen to decide what decision you’ll make. For each of the five cards, you can either hold or discard. Held cards stick around for your final hand, while discarded ones are replaced by others in the deck.

That means you have to make sure that any cards you hold will help you towards a winning combination. By the same token, you should make sure that discarded cards aren’t worth keeping, since you have no chance of receiving them again on the draw. Instead, they’ll be replaced by fresh cards from the deck.

Your decision should come down to the following two factors:

• What are your chances of making a winning combination based on what you hold and what remains in the deck?
• What potential payback is in store for the winning combinations you’re trying to make?

The Draw

You have to indicate which cards you’ll hold on the screen, by either pressing buttons, clicking on icons, or touching the screen, depending on where you’re playing. The cards you leave alone will be the ones that will be discarded. Remember that your choices are final once you hit the draw button, so make sure you don’t make an error at this stage.

When you hit the “draw” button, the cards you’ve discarded (if any) will be replaced by others from the deck. That completes the hand. Any winnings that you’ve managed will be added to your bankroll at that time and you’ll be ready for the next hand.

Playing Multiple Hands

The key to understanding how to play three, five or ten hands on Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker is to realize that you’ll still just be getting a single deal. From this deal, all of the hands will spring. You’ll be making just a single decision about what to hold and discard as if playing only one hand.

The screen for Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker will make room for however many hands you’re playing. But you’ll still only see five cards on the screen. As you indicate which buttons to hold, you’ll see those cards appear in all the hands on the screen in the same position that they were in on the deal.

Draws in Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker will take place from multiple decks. These decks will have the same 47 cards after the deal, but they will be shuffled differently. When the draw comes, you’ll receive a draw for each of the hands you’re playing.

Example of Multiple Play

Imagine that you’ve decided to play Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker in three-hand format. Let’s say that you get the following deal:

This deal presents you a lot of different possibilities about how to proceed, even though there isn’t a winning combination right off the bat.

• Hold the pair of fours. That leaves open the possibility of four of a kind which, as you’ll see, is a great hand to have in Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker. You can also end up with two pair, three of a kind, or a full house.
• Hold the four, five, seven, and king of hearts. This would be the play you would make if you were trying to draw another heart and make a flush. You wouldn’t have the opportunity for many other winning combinations because you’d only be drawing one card, but the flush is a solid, middle-payback hand.
• Hold the four, five, and seven of hearts. The reason you might go in this direction would be to go for the straight flush. Although it would be a bit of a long shot to draw the cards you would need, the lure of the high payback, and the possibility of ending up with other winning combinations even if the straight flush falls through, could make you choose this route.

For our example, let’s imagine that you choose the first option and held the fours. Imagine that the draws turned out like this:

Hand 1:

Hand 2:

Hand 3:

In Hand 1, you managed a full house. Hand 2 gave you three of a kind. You didn’t end up a winner in Hand 3.

You would add the winnings of Hands 1 and 2 together. Also, you drew the nine of clubs in both Hands 1 and 3. That is proof of the fact that the same 47 cards are in each draw deck, which leaves open the possibility that you could end up with the same card in different draws.

The multiple play part of Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker offers you the chance to play at a faster pace. It also gives you the chance to benefit many times over from a good deal. But the drawback is that you can also lose money from your bankroll much faster playing in this fashion of you have a slump.

Pay Tables for Super Aces Super Triple Play Video Poker

Pay tables show how much you can expect to win for hands that you make while playing video poker. They show you the payback for every possible bet size. This information is crucial to you in terms of your playing strategy.

Without any context, the makeup of the Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker pay table might not mean much to you, especially if you’re a beginning player. To that end, we’ll show you the pay table of the most popular of all video poker formats, Jacks or Better.

Jacks or Better

Coins/Hand	1 Coin	2 Coins	3 Coins	4 Coins	5 Coins
Royal flush	250	500	750	1,000	4,000
Straight flush	50	100	150	200	250
Four of a kind	25	50	75	100	125
Full house	9	18	27	36	45
Flush	6	12	18	24	30
Straight	4	8	12	16	20
Three of kind	3	6	9	12	15
Two pairs	2	4	6	8	10
Jacks or better	1	2	3	4	5

To compare, let’s take a look at the Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker pay table when you bet between one and five credits per hand.

Super Aces Super Triple Play Poker

Coins/Hand	1 Coin	2 Coins	3 Coins	4 Coins	5 Coins
Royal flush	250	500	750	1,000	4,000
Straight flush	60	120	180	240	300
Four of a kind (aces)	400	800	1,200	1,600	2,000
Four of a kind (2s, 3s, or 4s)	80	160	240	320	400
Four of a kind (any other)	50	100	150	200	250
Full house	7	14	21	28	35
Flush	5	10	15	20	25
Straight	4	8	12	16	20
Three of a kind	3	6	9	12	15
Two pairs	1	2	3	4	5
Jacks or better	1	2	3	4	5

Comparing the two pay tables show you the vast differences between the two games. Jacks or Better is a much more conservative pay table. It’s good for those who like to play for a long time on a small bankroll.

But Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker ramps up the payback for certain high-paying hands, especially four of a kind. You can see that even the lowest-paying four of a kind on that table pays more than the highest-paying quad on Jacks or Better. There is also a slight boost for the straight flush.

Jacks or Better has the edge on Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker in terms of the full house and the flush. But the big difference comes with two pair. Take a look.

• Two pair on Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker: Even-money payback
• Two pair on Jacks or Better video poker: 2 to 1 payback

You might not realize why this is such an important disparity. It is because of the frequency with which two pair will appear when you’re playing video poker. On average, you’ll be able to achieve two pair on approximately one out of every 10 hands.

As a result of that, the lower payback in Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker for two pair will raise the volatility level, which is already high with the multiple play format. The enhanced payback for four of a kinds will put you in line for big, quick scores if you play long enough. But you’ll also be subject to stretches when you struggle to afloat.

Special Super Aces Super Triple Play Pay Table

As we said above, the pay table we showed for Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker is for when you bet one through five credits per hand. But you can also make a wager of six coins per hand if you choose. That will unlock the following special pay table.

Coins/Hand	1 Coin	2 Coins	3 Coins	4 Coins	5 Coins
Royal flush	250	500	750	1,000	4,000
Straight flush	160	320	480	640	800
Four of a kind (aces)	800	1,600	2,400	3,200	4,000
Four of a kind (2s, 3s, or 4s)	160	320	480	640	800
Four of a kind (any other)	80	160	240	320	400
Full house	7	14	21	28	35
Flush	5	10	15	20	25
Straight	4	8	12	16	20
Three of a kind	3	6	9	12	15
Two pairs	1	2	3	4	5
Jacks or better	1	2	3	4	5

Technically, when you play with this table, you really have to only concern yourself with the five-coin column. When you bet six coins, you are basically creating a new max bet payoff, which is why you should look at the five-coin column.

But you can use the one-coin column to make simple comparisons between the six-coin pay table for Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker and the one for one through five coins. Take a look.

Hand	1 through 5 coins bet	6 coins
Straight flush	60 to 1	160 to 1
Four of a kind (aces)	400 to 1	800 to 1
Four of a kind (2s, 3s, 4s)	80 to 1	160 to 1
Four of a kind (5s through Ks)	50 to 1	80 to 1

As you can see, the six-coin pay table comes out on top in every department. In fact, you’re using a pay table that gives you the potential of 800 to 1 on four aces. That’s as much as you’ll get from the straight flush in most other video poker pay tables.

The drawback is the higher bet, of course. For example, if you get two pair and bet one through five coins, you’re earning even money. But if you get two pair on a six-coin wager in Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker, you’re actually suffering a one-coin loss (six coins bet minus five coins won).

Still, the six-coin wager actually gives you the highest potential payback percentage when playing Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker. To understand more of that’s about, read on to the next section.

Payback Percentage for Super Aces Super Triple Play Video Poker

If you’re only planning on being a casual video poker player, payback percentage won’t really have too much effect on you. But if you’re planning on being a regular at video poker machines or on the gambling sites that contain the game, you need to understand what it is and why it matters.

Payback percentage is an accurate predictor of video poker results for long-term players on a certain pay table. You can estimate based on the likelihood of achieving winning hands on the pay table and the pay attached to those winning hands. In the case of Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker, if you play the game with perfect strategy (more on that to come) and make the max bet, you can expect a payback percentage of 99.02%.

What does that mean, bankroll-wise? Take a look at what that payback percentage will return to you based on bet sizes:

• $1,000 bet = $990.20 remaining
• $10,000 bet = $9,902 remaining
• $100,000 bet = $99,020 remaining

You might be surprised to know that such a payback percentage is actually a solid one in the world of video poker. Even though you are predicted to lose money, that isn’t unusual. Remember that most casino games have a house edge built into them, which is why casinos and gambling sites are able to stay in business.

The reason that 99.02% is enviable is that you can overcome those expected losses. Most casinos and sites that offer video poker will offer bonuses to players who play frequently. With these bonuses in place, you actually have a chance to eke out a profit playing Super Aces Super Triple Play video poker as your regular game.
