This is currently a contest game and I was trying to figure it out. When you are dealt two or more suited royalty the game prompts you to hold them regardless of the remaining cards, This morning my wife was dealt 888 JQ (suited). She kept the three eights and hit quads. The suited JQ carries over to the added top panes.
I notice that it is no advantage to play an inferior lower hand combination just to hold suited royals because even if you hit a 3d or 4th royal on the lower pane, that does not transfer in any way to the upper panes (like it would playing "Stack 'em High". So I am continuing to play normally on the lower pane. If I get say, QKA suited and a second ace, I hold the aces (TDB). Am I seeing this correctly? -BA

The bonus hands are given to you regardless how you hold your cards.

There is no strategy change to this game. Just use the strategy for the base game.

This confirms my suspicions. Thanks hophoofer.
