Object: Be first to use all your cards and go out. Name a time, hand, or point limit to establish game before play begins.

The cards: A standard 52-card deck. For four or more players, two decks can be used.

Dealing: Seven cards are dealt to each player. Of the remainder, one card is turned faceup to begin the discard pile. The rest of the cards are placed facedown to serve as the stock.

Playing: Play begins from the dealer's left. All play moves left. The first player will cover the upcard with one that matches either by suit or rank. For example, if the upcard is an 5 you may play any heart or any 5. Or you can play an 8 to match suit only. If you can't match from your hand, you will have to draw from stock until you are able to. If an 8 is played, the next player must match to the suit the 8 was named to cover -- meaning if the 8 is played to cover the 5, you will need to play a heart or a 5. Play continues until one player has no cards left. If the stock runs out before the game is over, just pick up the discard pile, shuffle it well, and turn it over to reestablish the stock.

Scoring: The winner scores the point count of the total of all the cards left in the opponents' hands. Each 8 counts 50, face cards count 10, and all others count their face value (ace counts 1 point).

Tips: When you have many cards of one suit, others may find that suit hard to match. Remember, in a game with several players, your play affects the next player most. Don't get caught holding wild cards (8s) at the end of play, since they count a whopping 50 points each.

Crazy 8's Poker Video Poker Highlights

The 'Crazy 8's' variation of video poker is one that offers a pay scale that is somewhat similar to that of the Bonus Poker game, with a couple of exceptions. One of them is that the payout for two pairs is the same as one pair with Jacks or better.

But most notably, Crazy 8's does indeed go crazy with eights; in fact, players are in for a very handsome payoff when striking gold with them.

Let's backtrack for a moment - the way video poker works, players are dealt an original five-card hand at the outset, then use the 'hold' button to hold onto the cards that are going to be of help in developing a winning hand. In this particular game, eights are going to be of extra assistance.

Here is the full pay table, which of course is based on the player making the maximum bet of five coins or units:

It is highly recommended that the maximum bet of five coins is made; the reason for this is that the payout on the Royal Flush is 4000 coins for five coins, while the payout for one coin is only 250. It is critical that you get the bonus payoff with the maximum bet, since hitting a Royal Flush is one of the things you aim for.

As you can see, the payout for one pair and two pairs is the same. In addition this, four eights pays 1000 coins, and four eights with an ace kicker pays 2000 coins. Both of these payouts are higher than anything else but the Royal Flush.

Coin denominations of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50 cents, as well as $1, $2, and $5. The maximum bet is $25, derived from five coins at the highest denomination.
