Yes. I would think a full house by definition would have a three of a kind and a pair of a different rank. We will confirm what is correct and update the game accordingly if needed. I’ll report back here on the outcome.

I've seen people get confused the same way with Extra Draw Frenzy. They don't realize that ONLY a dealt 3oak and not a dealt FH or Quad triggers the frenzy hands.

It was the best result, since the multiplier for five of a kind was, I think, two or three. Still, a natural quad with a deuce counting as a full house seems strange, to say the least.

Well, if the deuce counts as an 8 and the game pays the highest hand, I would play my hand as 3 of a kind 8s plus a pair of 8s whenever a full house pays better than five of a kind 8s (and 4 of a kind 8s).

In a non-wild game, it won't pay natural quads as a full house even if the full house pays more because you cannot divide the 5 cards into trips plus a pair. However, while playing Jacks or Better, I did have a pair of Qs paid as a 100x Two Pair when I drew the second pair of queens in one hand.

It seems a little strange but also logical when the usually lower ranked hands occasionally pay more than hands that are traditionally higher ranked.

I’ve confirmed we are handling it correctly so I think this is indeed how it will pay out in the casino. What a crazy one…. But who ever thought a full house would beat a 5k?

Five 8’s is just the fullest house ever when the timing is right.
