We just realized that Super Triple Play and the standard 5 and 10 play have not yet been tested in the credit tracking rotation.These are up now, have at it!

I'll add that these are running off the same engine as Triple Play, which has been well-tested, so I'll only keep these up a limited time to make sure the alternate schemes work properly. If these get some play today with no bug reports, I'll assume they are running smoothly. I'm not sure how many people will be on with the Holiday tomorrow.

Looks like these are running smoothly so far. I'll probably pull some of these before long here and move my focus to some other pre-launch matters.For those of you who may keep playing through the holiday, any specific games you would like up for Turkey Day?

I vote for Triple Play with AC Joker on it. Keep QQs and the new Super game. Maybe Mono-Line ?
Thanks

Faygo's picks sound good to me. 
 
WM, thanks for the pre-Turkey Day work!

I made the rounds on Triple and 10 play and found no problems.  I'm always up for going mono-e-mono....or something like that.  Talk 'em into putting up a single line version of QQ.   I'd like to see how that plays out. I have tried ignoring the other lines but somehow, they keep my attention

I made the rounds of the Super TP, 5-Play, and 10-Play and didn't see any problems either.  I'll add my two cents to MikeA's and say that I'd like to see single line QQ's.  That would kind of clog up the game selection screen with the different QQ's games, but what the heck.

You'll also be able to impress your friends by telling them that you were a beta tester for it (well, the online one anyway). 
 
I don't know how it will do, initially.  People will like the hit-more-quads part, but without knowing any decent strategy for it they may give it up after the first "Eek!" session.  Once strategies are published I think more people will try it.
 
As far as my own play might go, if it's only available in multiline I won't play it much for the same reason that I don't play much standard 3-play, 5 play, 10 play - bankroll.  I have a 1 1/2 hour roundtrip drive to the casinos here, and if I have a choice between an hour's play on 3-play or three hours on single line, I'll take the single line.  The specific paytables that will be used for it in the casinos could cause me to change that view.
 
EDITED:  Just remembered that I could always play just 1 line if it comes out only in multiline.  "Duh" on cd.

Most people will think we are weird when we start holding suited 279  or 189 on DDB. Then there's a hold (221) that looks like your just holding a kicker... something like you see VP novices do all the time. But, when they see us holding TT82 they will think we're completely bonkers.
