Please play the pilot demo: http://www.playholdemvideopoker.com
It works best on desktop, Google Chrome.
My concept could be applied to the many Texas Hold’em variations, include Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
Some features of the demo include:
1. The option to play against 5, 10 or 21 Dealers
2. Turbo mode button - to toggle card animation (on or off)
3. “Show/Hide Details” button - to review each hand result
4. “Info” button
5. Set your Luck
6. Change table layout color
Your opinion about this game will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Vlad

Hi, Vlad!
Pretty interesting concept. I do believe I would play it. Still thinking about it.
Couple of glitches at the moment, mentioned not to criticize but hopefully help. Playing via Chrome as suggested.
In the picture below, hand 1 is dealing but not registering win/loss. This has been consistent, not just this hand.
Also below, there are 19 pushes in the hand because of the board's FH, along with 2 losses for 4OAK. The computer awarded $900 for the $100 Trips bet plus the 8:1 bonus win, and only pushed the one hand for $100, showing a win of $1000. It should have shown (based on how it was paying before with hand 1 disabled) $2700 for the win, with 18 pushes returned plus the bonus.
Good luck with this!
Edit: This hand (below) also did not pay correctly (overpaid):
10 winning hands, and on 6 player wins the dealer did not qualify:
6 ante push, return bet @ 25 = 150
4 ante wins, pay bet @ 50 = 200
10 blind push, return @ 25 = 250
10 play wins, pay bet @ 50 = 500
Total = $1100
However, win is at $1200. The only way I see that happens is if the game is paying the blinds on the ante wins, but I guess it could be something else.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Yeah, but this is poker, and I think it has a place among the players. UTH is dull on a computer and deals too fast; this would change that. Helps smooth the variance. And it's in the style of the pros where they run the hand multiple times. I think it could be huge.

How cool you heard from him!! A good luck charm for the game, maybe? :)
I've audited a few more hands, and I think the 2nd demo pic I showed above, the bug analysis should be that hand 1 is being processed, it's just that the graphics aren't displaying.

Show details is an excellent add-on. Nice to get analysis of each hand, just like if dealer was there to explain. I think it might be more intuitive if, any hand the customer had a question about, they could mouseover or touch for that hand's analysis, but I'm guessing that's easy enough to map on the screen down the road.
Turbo off is a little too laggy for me. I had to go to the info screens to fully understand what you were doing. You were showing that each dealer was virtually dealing the player's and the same 5 cards to the board, pulling them out of each individual deck, then each dealer got his own set of cards from his own deck that were different (but could be found in other dealers' hands). I think your animation of this doesn't quite put this point across by itself, but conceptually I really like that it's unique decks rather than multiple hands from the same deck. Probably required you to do it that way for the integrity of the HE calculations, since this way each hand is not dependent and the game is head's-up for however many games.
(Edit: lag and animation much improved in 5 hand mode. Perhaps my computer's not RAMmy enough to do 21 at once but likes 5.)
The music is cute. Nice option, changing background screen color; helps people play longer to reduce eyestrain, too! lol...

Try different layout color.
Blue, Red, Gold!
Click at the top left corner.
Turn On/Off background music at the top Right corner
10 hand is my favorite
Turbo off slows game but it is nice to to observe cards fly
Thanks to All for play and review!

Thanks beachbumbabs for the feedback. A moseover popup is certainly a good option to display the deatils of each hand result.
The flying cards animation was a challenge to implement, and can definetly be improved. The current version of the game was meant to demonstrate the concept of the game. There is a lot of coding that would need to be done to make it run smooth on more browsers and platforms. If we see that there is a lot of interest in this game, then we will make sure to continue developing this game.
Most importan for us that the concept is warmly accepted by experts!
Thanks

It might have been huge if it could have been protected, but in view of the prior art (including the OP's own patents), I don't see much chance of this getting an issued patent. No patent, no investment, no commercialization, no money to be made. To paraphrase Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, "I don't care if it's a great game. I care about MAKING MONEY."Quote: beachbumbabsYeah, but this is poker, and I think it has a place among the players. UTH is dull on a computer and deals too fast; this would change that. Helps smooth the variance. And it's in the style of the pros where they run the hand multiple times. I think it could be huge.
How could you argue that "playing against multiple hands" is non-obvious for house-banked poker games when (a) it's already been done for house-banked blackjack games, and (b) there are so many other card game methods that disclose applications to both poker *and* blackjack? There would have to be something else non-obvious about that combination or how it works in order for it to get anywhere, and I don't know what that would be.
It might be a great game, but from an investment standpoint I'd be worried. There's no question the OP knows what he's doing from a game design standpoint (look at his LinkedIn profile) but I'm not optimistic about the ROI of developing this product given my current estimation of the likelihood of obtaining IP. But if he has a deal cooking that doesn't require perfected IP to make money, that's a different story.

I wouldn't call 5 years ago "fresh granted". That's well into young adulthood for a patent and a lot has happened in the interim.Quote: VladAlex1Here is a link to the fresh Granted MH VBJ patent

As for being positive, I wouldn't recommend anything else for a long shot like developing and licensing a successful game. If your evaluation of the likelihood of success is different than mine, by all means go for it.
