Aces and Faces (Multi-Hand)

Aces and Faces (Multi-Hand) by Rival is a video poker game that allows players to engage in multiple hands simultaneously, all based on a single five-card deal. The game draws inspiration from classic draw poker, featuring clear card visuals, traditional suits and ranks, and a paytable that starts rewarding from Jacks or Better. A unique aspect of this version is that four of a kind hands made with Aces or face cards, such as Jacks, Queens, or Kings, offer higher payouts compared to four of a kind with lower-ranking cards.

Players begin by dealing the initial hand, deciding which cards to hold before the draw. The holds are then applied across all active hands in multi-hand mode. Each hand independently draws replacement cards from its own deck, resulting in separate outcomes. You have the flexibility to select how many hands to play at once, which influences both the level of risk and the potential results.

This game does not include traditional bonus rounds or free spins, as its focus is on forming poker hands rather than incorporating reel-based or bonus-triggered features. An additional element is the gamble or “double up” minigame, where after a win, players can opt to risk part or all of their payout in a chance-based side game to attempt to double it. The emphasis is on strategy, involving decisions about which cards to hold, understanding the paytable, and managing multiple hands, rather than relying on flashy animations or special symbols beyond standard poker ranks. It provides a classic poker experience with the added excitement of playing several hands concurrently.

You can play it for real money.
