Bonus Pick Poker

Post by Leeknows »

In this week's Weekly Contest the game is Bonus Pick Poker. While playing Deuces Wild Bonus in the contest, I was dealt a Wild Card plus 3 cards to a Royal, (the King, Queen, and Jack of Spades). I kept the Wild Card and the three spades.

On one of the 10 hands, I drew the 10 of Spades, for a Royal Flush. But instead of being awarded 4000 credits, I was awarded 125 credits, as if the wild card was a deuce. The rules of the game say a wild card can be substituted for any card. It shouldn't matter if I'm playing Deuces Wild or Straight poker. Is this a glitch, or am I wrong? Interested in feedback.

I will have to get clarification on which payout is correct in this circumstance and I will report back.

Your interpretation was right. The correct payout is 4000 on this hand. It's been corrected in the game and scores have been adjusted where possible.

Thanks for looking into that. I'd have been really ticked off if it had happened in a casino.

Does that mean the current version of the this game in casinos is flawed?

No. The casino version has the correct payout.
