SPLIT CARD VIDEO POKER

I'm going to play this game here on this website to get familiar with it, it sounds very interesting and fun to me!

The identical EVs are listed on this website (videopoker.com), which is frequently the Wizard's source.

Maybe it'll show up at an online casino where all RTPs are disclosed. So far, it seems the online (US regulated) casinos have kept to the simplest video poker offerings: basic 1/3/5/10 play, and the only bonus feature game I've seen is Ultimate X.

I have a related question. Some IGT games are designed by partner companies. How many IGT partners are involved in video poker? I suppose the most prominent is video poker dot com, aka Action Gaming. But I know of at least two others. Split Card is designed by King Show Games, which also developed Hot Roll. And Multi-Strike was developed by Leading Edge Design.

Am I missing any?

I imagine Webman (or some knowledgeable poster like Vman) knows the answer to that, but I don't know.

I have no idea either. I never looked into the game at all. I like to keep my games as simple as possible.

Split Card poker, at least in my area, was a big flop. There was one dedicated machine next to my usual 5-Star. I watched many people slide in a $20 or maybe $100 (playing nickles), get wrecked and leave. Eventually, the machine went dark and was pulled.

But now, on some of the latest multi-game cabinets, it has returned - along with Triple Wheel, Hot Roll and others games.

Here's the IGT promo video for the Mega Hot Poker collection:

The presenter describes Hot Roll as a nationwide success, whereas Split Card is a regional success. But the only "region" with a significant Split Card presence on dedicated machines is Vegas -- especially the Station casinos throughout the metro area.

now there is Multi-Strike Wheel Poker.
But even videopoker.com has no info about this game. So I wonder what the return is when adding the extra 5 coins for the wheel.

It's similar to Multi Strike, but if you get a DEALT a winning hand on the 8x level, you spin the wheel and get a larger multiplier than the normal 8x for that hand. It goes from 10x up to 40x. I have played it a little bit and it seems every chance on the wheel is evenly weighted, which was a surprise ( I got the 40x twice, and never got the 10x).
