Abstract

A poker game based on an Aces and 8's legend pays a high multiple of the amount bet for the highest winning hand containing two pair of aces and 8's, and pays a lower multiple of the amount bet for the second highest winning hand containing two pair other than aces and 8's. A hand of less than a pair and neither an ace nor an 8 wins the amount bet, and all other hands lose. Dealing and betting rules can vary, and the game is adaptable to machine play.
