Frankie's Fantastic 7

I just finished a new page on Frankie's Fantastic 7, a horse racing game available at Playtech Internet casinos. As always, I welcome comments, questions, and especially corrections.

The question for the poll, is what do you think of the game?

"2. Initially, a two 53-card decks are used, including one joker." - first, remove the "a"; second, when you say "one joker", it's not clear if there's just one joker in the deck or two (one per 53-card deck), so you should clarify that the "full" deck has two jokers.

"4. The winning horse is the first two cross the finish line." - that's "to", not "two".

"17. If a card tie causes to horses to win simultaneously..." - the first "to" should be "two".

You might want to clarify #13; two horses tying for the high card means they have the same card (e.g. 10 of spades) that is higher than the other five, taking the "suit tiebreaker" into effect.

If, say, 2 and 6 tie, or 2 and 4 tie, then does the "1-3" bet pay 0.475-1?

Rule 2 is worded weirdly.
4: has two instead of to.
17: lists odds as to 1, but are for 1.

I wonder why your house edge ranges are different than the help files? Sim verses combinational analysis?

Thanks for the corrections. My interpretation of the rules is that if any horse in the "evens" group wins, including on a tie, then it will pay the full 95%.

I just published a YouTube video of the game.

Up under the rules #8, you list lanes 1 and 7 as the favorites at 2.4:1, and 3-5 at 13:1. But at the bottom of your page, you say the opposite (I think), both in the text and in the table itself. Is it possible you transposed the odds values? Or am I just not understanding the last bit?

Also, I think the 2nd to the last table header is mislabeled; it's supposed to be about the evens bet (1-3 and 5-7), but it says Lanes 1 and 7.

shall have to

just use have to or must

Also I think the "evens" return table is labeled wrong -- "Lanes 1 and 7 Return Table"

This is the same note I gave above, not a separate one (just so Mike doesn't go looking for 2 different things).

Thank you for the correction.

Welcome. I saw you made that correction, but I think in the very last table, both the table itself and the text describing it have the favorites and long-shots by numbers reversed. Unless I don't understand the table itself.

Please Sir

How did you calculate the odds for each outcome. I suppose it is combinatronics, for this game I just could not come up with the odds. I did the Keno calcultions and can do general lottery odds combinatronics and probability. May you please assist?
