The last 2 weeks or so.....Extra Draw Frenzy has been the game in question for me, and guess what?   Ive been awful at it......Its all about catching three of a kind on that game, and I cannot seem to get any triples!I am so far off base in terms of catching 3 of a kind on the deal......Anyone else like this game, either here or in casinos?

It hasn't really drawn me in. My favorite casino got some All Star II machines recently which has this game on it. I played it a few times but like you, I very rarely got the dealt hands needed to trigger the bonus feature. I don't play it here on VP.com much either with all the other games that I like more.

I just played over 1000 hands and got dealt one  three of a kind!!!!    wtfI think there is some actual feature of the game itself, Extra frenzy draw< that entails there will be infrequent draws of three of a kind

If you look up the variance, you probably get a fat outrageous number. Stay far away from gimmicks in the first place when playing cash. It's more gimmee from the casino POV.

One problem with the frenzy, they're dealt from separate decks that have the cards you already chose not to hold.

Extra Draw Frenzy is one of my least favorite games.  I don't play it, even if it's a contest. I play the monthly contest religiously, but rarely the weekly and the daily only if I like the game, which is also rare. I do make the 7 Stars contest because of the challenge games. I know, TMI.

Not quite sure why Keno is so popular on this site. It is a video poker site. Do Keno players also play video poker or are they just here for the keno?
