Although the contest is open now, for the purposes of the contest, practice was irrelevant --- unless you know how to practice being dealt royals or AWAK --- or possibly 2s, 3s, or 4s with a kicker. The bonus round on Extra Draw Frenzy is triggered by dealt trips. When you get them you get extra draws to the trips. If you do well when you get dealt trip aces, 2s, 3s, or 4s, it'll improve your score a bit in the contest. No other trips will help you much in the contest.  And even getting dealt trip aces won't help you that much. If you're playing Triple Double Bonus Ten Play and get dealt trip aces, you'll likely be given about 25 bonus draws (which is actually 15 bonus draws plus the ten you'd be given anyway). And you will not get to hold a kicker in these 25 bonus draws even if a kicker or two was in the original hand. Connecting on 1 set of aces is about average (1 in 23.5 is exactly average). Getting 2 with kickers would be a VERY nice hit. That's 8000 credits. That would be a nice hit in a casino, but in this contest you need dealt royals or AWAK (40,000 credits at a time) or 2s-4s with a kicker dealt (20,000 at a time) multiple times. 8000 won't come close to getting you in the money --- although it can help if you get some other dealt hands along the way as well. Bob

The contest is three hands Bob

[Bilvis]

Was dealt 3 aces and 2 kings for a full house. I did not get a choice to use the 3 aces for my frenzy hand. So, if dealt a full house you lose the frenzy bonus?

[edog743]

yes another perk of the game if you throw the pair you still do not get the frenzy.

This is another game I would avoid in a casino. Prefer straight DDB. For contests, it is ok. BTW, in 5 of my first 14 games, I was not dealt one three of a kind. In all 14, I was dealt no 4 of a kind, one full house, and probably 2 flushes. Did draw some, but as Bob said, hard to win the contest without  luck. LOL

I noticed that also. You really should be allowed to get a frenzy if you throw away the other 2 cards )-:
