Spin Poker: Turbo ON or Turbo OFF?

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

In non-turbo mode you can press the deal button a second time when the first card stops to get a quiet turbo deal on the remaining 4 cards.
Anyone play Triple Spin Poker? The implementation here on the site does include a turbo button, but I don't think I've seen any type of speed control in the wild. If I want to play somewhat rapidly, I have to do the double-press for both deal and draw.

I always play Turbo, unless there's an advantage to slow play. On Thursdays Soaring Eagle has Ricochet Rewards. 50 players are randomly awarded $25 in premium play, as long as they are actively playing from 3pm to midnight. I play the nickels slowwwww. Don't matter how much you play, just make sure you don't run out of $ before the promo ends.

You actually can press the deal button and then start to read a book there. As long as you are in the game, you are qualified.

Casinos have promotions where you have to be actively playing to get your name called. Some casinos that means your card cannot time out in the machine. Others may be a hand played within the last minute.

A casino has a promotion where your name can be called if you had your card in a machine since 6am. Those promotions benefit the casino because the odds are good that the person called at 3pm has probably left already. If the person is not present, another name is not called.

You have to be actively playing. You have time to run to the restroom and grab a drink, and that's about it. After a few minutes of inactivity the card slot turns red. I was sitting at a machine when the ricochet hit. Message pops up that said ricochet activated. Keep card in while we check to see if you're a winner. About 1 minute later it said I won and the money was on my card. The guy sitting one seat over didn't get it because he had just sat down when the ricochet hit. It's a hot seat promotion, and whichever seat hits, the surrounding machines get ricochets too.


What I mean by slow is maybe half my normal speed. If someone nearby hits big on the slots, I'll turn around and enjoy their moment.

Female here. Turbo when I play online because I'm all about that fast action.

But when it's actually my real money I play it sloooow.
