multi-play discard question

Post by dave48inphx »

Are the discards from your original dealt hand removed from all the decks in the draw?

E-MAIL from Mr Daley (IGT)
In multi-hand games the cards that are dealt on the first hand are all removed from the remaining decks so the remaining decks will have 47 cards in them (except in Joker Poker, in that game they will have 48).

Q: How are cards dealt on a video poker machine?

A: In current IGT poker products, five cards are dealt off the top of the deck at the time the game is started. When the player selects the cards to hold and presses the deal/draw button, the game draws an additional five cards from the top of the deck to replace any discards. The discards are replaced in left to right order, in the same manner a normal poker game is dealt.

For example: The player is dealt the Ace of Hearts, two of Clubs, Ace of Clubs, four of Diamonds, and six of Spades. The player then decides to discard the two of Clubs, four of Diamonds, and six of Spades. The two of Clubs is replaced with the top card, the four of Diamonds is replaced with the second card, and the six of Spades is replaced with the third card.
