Hello everyone,
I have developed a video poker Android app featuring multiple games that use play points (no real money or in-app purchases involved). I am preparing to launch it on Google Play, but before doing so, I need to gather feedback from a number of testers as required by Google.
The app will be priced at around €4 upon release, but testers will get exclusive access for free (they will be able to download the app from the Google Play Store). If you are interested in participating in this testing phase and providing valuable feedback, please share your email address by replying to this post or send me a private message (PM).
Your feedback will be immensely helpful in making the app the best it can be. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
Best regards,

Hi!
There are 5 games: Jacks or better, Deuces Wild, Triple reels, Joker is Wild, Two jokers are wild.
Feel free to ask me anything about the game! I currently offer three deck types, with the cards from 10 to Ace in the Gothic and Cartoonish decks personally designed by me. When the app is published, I plan to include a custom deck-building feature where players can create their own unique decks. Additionally, an optional help feature will be available to guide players on the best cards to hold for strategic gameplay.
I wanted to post links to game play screenshots, or to post the screenshots in the post but it doesn't seem to work.

tell us about how you shuffle your cards

Hi.
Below is an excerpt from the game rules.
In my game, the deck of cards is stored in an array. At the beginning of each round, the cards within the array are shuffled randomly to ensure a fair and unpredictable gameplay experience. This shuffling is achieved through a sophisticated algorithm that guarantees each card has an equal chance of being in any position within the array.
After the cards are shuffled, a Random Number Generator (RNG) steps in to select five cards at random. The RNG produces five distinct numbers, each corresponding to a card's position in the array. These five cards are then displayed on the reels. The use of RNG ensures that the selection process is entirely random and unbiased, adding an element of chance and excitement to the game.
This meticulous process—shuffling the cards and using the RNG to select and display them—ensures that every round is unique, offering players a fresh and unpredictable experience each time they play. By implementing these randomization techniques, I maintain the integrity of the game and provide players with an engaging and dynamic gameplay environment.
Drawing Cards
Create and Shuffle Deck: A new deck is created and shuffled at the start of each round.
Draw Cards: Five cards are drawn and displayed on the reels.
Holding Cards
Hold Buttons/Card Click: Players can choose to hold any of the five cards by clicking either the "Hold" button below each card or directly on the card image itself.
Toggle Hold: Clicking the "Hold" button or the card image again will release the hold on the card.
Drawing New Cards
Draw New Cards: After holding the desired cards, click the "Draw" button to replace the non-held cards with new ones from the deck.
Evaluate Hand: The final hand is evaluated to determine the points won.
Best regards,
