I like all your Video Poker Games.
I see you have very good ideas for new Video Poker Games.
Good Lack with All Your New Video Poker Games.
I like your Slide Poker a little more then your Discard Poker.
Good luck with All your games.
It would give me more incentive to play a 99.54 machine if I saw this as a bonus option, that's for sure.
Quote: JohnzimboI like it. My only suggestion is when you hold a card, have the word "hold" change to a different color. Would make it easier to ensure the correct cards are held each time.
I will look into that idea, thanks.
Quote: PerditionIt looks fun. It gives you a chance to turn a non-winning hand into something more without an extra credit wager as well as have multiple win for J,Q,K,A(going off the JoB format in your vid).

Thanks. The whole concept came from wanting to give extra plays for obtaining a pair in the hand.
About how many times are you guys initiating the slide bonus? So far I have been pleased with how many times it has happened in the games I've played.
Quote: Mission146The Bonus Discard game freaking rocks! I hate VP, but I'd totally play that for real $$$!
I can live with these stats:
Hands played: 1300
Credits: 12505
What's the House Edge?
EDIT: Do you know how many times I have Edited this? Must...stop...playing.
Quote: Mission146I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but the Demo is not paying me for my slide wins, or the initial hand that caused them.
What browser are you using? It seems to work best with chrome for the pc. I have also had good success using Puffin for the ipad.

I still need to get the math done for Bonus Discard. I spent the majority of time trying to get the game play the way i wanted it. I'm very happy with how the game plays using 3 or 4 card discard hands.....next step is the math. Its the one area i have no experience in so advice is always welcomed.

I think that was either Windows 7 or XP, don't know, couldn't work it at all at home which is Windows 8.

The game does play very well, though I suspect the player is at a ridiculous advantage, so you definitely want to look into the Math.
I was using a far from Optimal Strategy (because there is no way I could intuitively come up with an Optimal Strategy) and just winning too slowly, but consistently, for it to be otherwise. Consider that, in those results, I only had one Quad which was not multiplied. I'm going to play it a few more times to be sure, JB or CrystalMath would probably be able to help, though.
My strategy was basically just never to break up a Straight, 3OaK or SF multiplier under any circumstances, excluding obvious circumstances such as four to a SF up top, or four to a RF up top for breaking up a SF below. I also chose not to break up certain flushes with a SF draw below in the event that one of the face cards was necessary for the SF draw.
In other words, I played in such a way that one would lose more hands than expected with Optimal JoB strategy, and absolutely kicked ass.
Or not, depends on what the actual player advantage is.

I am using Firefox and I am having the same issue. Cool concept though.

Being an independent inventor has made it really hard to determine what the priorities are and in what order they should be done. All 15 of my games have always focused on gameplay before anything else. The gameplay has to be the best it can be prior to looking at anything else. I've always believed, correct me if I'm wrong, that the math can always be adjusted to fit the game. It could be by how much the game cost, bonus opportunities, additional cards, etc. With that being said, I feel I'm ready for the math on some of my games.
It's funny how the strategy can change from each discard hand. Playing a five card discard hand, my original game idea, really doesn't change your strategy. Once you get into the three and four card discard hand there is a huge variance in what the best play would be.
I really need the math done on this game to see what everyone thinks about it.
Quote: gameshowfanThis game brings up an interesting strategy challenge. On a hand of (in order) 8D-7S-KD-JC-AC, the correct hold seems to be worth much less than normal because the spots for which you are paying extra can't have a pair and trigger the slide. In this example, does this mean the best play here is to dump the hand? Would 3 to a royal (for example, change the KD above to KC) change things?
Depends on what company is interested in picking up the game, but the jack of clubs and ace of clubs in that position in another version of slide poker would trigger the royal flush slide! It can also be done with a straight, flush, three of a kind hand, etc. according to the patent. Too bad I can't get all those concepts into the same demo.

If he hasn't altered the payouts since I played it last, it's def. in the player's favor for now. From my experience, you probably ran about as well as I did. Its probably close to a 200% game.

Cool! Did you use a similar strategy to mine? I'd be flattered!
Quote: Mission146Cool! Did you use a similar strategy to mine? I'd be flattered!
No idea. I just pulled that number out of my ass partly based on my results over a smaller sample than yours...lol But I tended to focus on three card possibilities because that paytable was of greater value I think.
