Any top card regardless of value or suit may be moved to the waste pile on the left, so long as there are less than five cards already in the waste pile. The goal is to move all the cards to the foundation or the waste pile with the exception of the four ace cards. Play Aces Up Solitaire. The best way to play your Ace King at the micro stakes in particular is just to play it as straightforward as possible. When you hit your top pair just bet until you are given a clear reason not to do so. How to play AK in Cash Games One of the beauties of Big Slick is the pre-flop pressure that you can put on your opponents. Unless one of your opponents has the rare holding of pocket AA or KK you are no worse than a coin-flip in the hand (remember that two overcards are about a coin-flip pre-flop favorite against a smaller pocket pair). The card below this Ace is turned over automatically. Once we can't find any more Aces, we sort the cards in the right sequence in order to turn more cards face up while we play. According to the rules of Klondike Solitaire, the cards on the tableau can only be sorted in alternating colors, putting each card on another card with a value that is.

Catch the Ace is a progressive, weekly raffle lottery where participants purchase tickets that are associated with envelopes on the gameboard. There are 52 envelopes on the gameboard and each envelope hides one card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Tickets are purchased each week and draws are conducted weekly until the Ace of Spades is found.

Envelope reveals any card but the Ace of Spades:

If the participant’s envelope reveals a card other than the Ace of Spades, the participant will receive the weekly jackpot (20% of gross weekly sales). At this point:

  1. The envelope and card is removed from the gameboard
  2. The progressive jackpot (30% of gross weekly sales) for that draw is rolled over into the next scheduled draw. The progressive jackpot continues to grow until the Ace of Spades is chosen.

Envelope reveals the Ace of Spades:

If the participant’s envelope reveals the Ace of Spades, the participant will receive both the weekly (20% of gross weekly sales) and the entire progressive jackpot accumulated. Once the Ace of Spaces has been unveiled, the raffle is concluded.
