Trust me, getting below 750 isn't unusual at all. Keep at it and you'll get some scores over 1000.

Hey TT, When you need to get 8500+ to place in the top 10, there's nothing wrong with scores of 750.  You just need those two 4000+ hits added to them to get near the top of the list.Getting a score of 1000 is relatively easy (probability of about 52-53%) if that was your only goal.  The formula for that is starting with Joker Poker - 2 Pair (not the AC game).  As long as you stay on track towards 1000, keep with that game.  If you get a little ahead, switch to Jacks or Better; if you get a little behind, switch to Bonus Deluxe and hope for some quads.  The last 20 plays or so are a bit trickier as you will have to adjust the game and strategy based on what you need to beat or exceed 1000 at the end.But if you get lucky, you can get that 5000 royal!  You'll still need to pair that with another jackpot hit to get in the top 10, but you can probably get in the top 100 with it.I've finished only 3 games.  Those scores were 4805, 4745, and 4875, but these scores are no better than yours when trying to beat 8500+.  I just got lucky and hit quad aces (holding trip aces once and a single ace the other time) in two games and a royal (holding suited King-Ten) on the other.  But without the 2nd 4000+ hit, these scores won't make the top 100 and are worth nothing.I'm sure my Gold status didn't help me get those 3-card draws that I needed to get a couple of those big hands!  But I didn't have to be distracted by the advertisements while playing either.Keep trying.  At least it will be easy to beat your own top score.  With 120,000+ games being finished out there, you just have to resign yourself to the fact that you have to get very lucky to make the top 10.
