[QUOTE=Webman] Super Look Ahead is a single line game also developed by IGT, which we do not have available. I'm not sure if it is actually present in casinos but I remember seeing it at the gaming show at some point in the past couple years.

My understanding is the mechanics were basically the same, but there may be differences in the interface/flow of the game. I don't know if there are any pay table differences between the two games, but both were an additional 3 credits/line for the bonus feature.

I appreciate the clarification, I was not aware that IGT can make their own unique Video Poker games. By the looks of things, it does seem to be the same game. The screenshot of Super Look Ahead Poker I saw online in the past matches the same pay schedule as the one on this website.

There are minor paytable changes from "Super Look Ahead". And the same thing happened between "Look Ahead" and "Peek and Play". The mechanics are exactly the same except it's a multiline format. The game idea probably was worked on initially by IGT, but the Action Gaming/videopoker.com team created the multiline VP patent, iirc. The single line version of this on the "Game Star" is virtually dead sadly. I had fun playing it in a single line format.

I appreciate the additional details. I never saw a Game Star on my Vegas trips so I never got to encounter the game. I think it is more fun to play multiline.

It looks like the payouts are fixed for the game now.

I might have run into a minor glitch with the game identifying two pairs.

As I was starting to play, I see a hand where I am dealt a pair of Aces and the peek card is a 6 of Hearts which also pairs up with the 6 of Clubs. I thought the game would identify as Two Pairs, but it is the best move to discard the pair of 6s anyways.



I thought the deal result was based on the 5 cards the player received, but in this scenario it says I have a 3 of a Kind when I only have a pair of 8s on the 5 cards with another 8 on the Peek Card



This one correctly identifies Two Pairs taking into account all 6 cards viewed.



It is not limited to Aces, I tried playing until I get two pairs with one pair being a high pair. It says Jacks or Better. It is not the optimal play to discard the other pair which is a low pair.



This leads me to believe there is a minor glitch, but not as bad as the incorrect payouts which hurts the player.

Flip and Pay was taken offline since it had glitches to resolve. Super Peek and Play also had glitches, so this thread turned into a bug reporting thread pretty much.
