Five Aces
Five Aces is a Video Poker game which is a modified version of Jacks or Better adding an additional card to the deck. The additional card is a 5th Ace. This Ace does not have a suit and as such cannot contribute to any hand that requires a suit (Royal Flush, Straight Flush or Flush).
For ease of comparison, the below table displays the best House Edge for Five Aces available at each software provider;

** The negative House Edge value indicates a player advantage.
