Just curious... Does it always give you the 'best' card?And, do you go with the 'suggested' DreamCard? or change it?

The Dream Card is always the one that gives the best average return. Doesn't mean it will provide the most winners.

The Dream Card is "supposed" to be the one that gives you the highest EV. In Jacks or Better, my experience is that the DC is always 100% accurate. In Bonus Poker, it's a different story. It appears 8/5 Bonus Poker uses the same algorithm to select DC as Jacks or Better. And that is a mistake. On a hand of (mixed suits) 2 5 7 9 DC, in Jacks or Better doesn't matter if the DC becomes a 2 or a 5 or a 7 or a 9. In Bonus Poker it does matter. If the machine selects a 7 for the DC, you should change it to a 2.  Bob

Tried this game at Harrahs Joliet in the 1 line variety playing DDB and I was getting alot of 3 of a kinds which will happen in dream card but for the life of me I could not catch the fourth one on the draw. So I started counting how many hands it took to get the four of a kind after receiving three on the first deal. It ended up being 137 hands of three of a kinds on the first deal before I finally caught the fourth one on the 2nd draw. Anyone else playing this and notice similar results or am I just on a bad streak right now?
