Bet All Hands

Post by MikeA »

I'm trying to recall if the game is emulating a casino machine.  I do not play multi-line that much in a casino and when I do, I usually set it to 1-hand if I've determined the pay tables are better on the multi-line machine than on the single line machines in that casino.My concern is that when you click on "Bet All Hands" it does so, but sets your bet at 1 credit.  This is an easy button to accidentally hit and you do not realize that you've crippled your paytable.Usually, there is a button on the far left, out of the way, where you can change the number of hands or change the number of credits bet per line.  On the right where all the action is (and where "Bet all hands" is located in the VP.Com games) you find the deal/draw button and right next to it is the "Max Bet" button.  That isn't accidental.  Casinos want you to bet the maximum so they put it where it WILL be accidentally hit.  Suggestion would be to move the "Bet All Hands" button over to the empty spot on the left of the display.

I agree with MikeA on this one. When the mouse finger gets faster than the hand movement you invaribly hit the bet all hands button. At that point,  you are hoping you don't have a big winner.
