Bonus Glitches?

Post by rayj »

I have had it happen more than one where my bonus score end up being 0!The game I just finished,   I was at 161 then it went to 0 with more than a dozen hands left and stayed there. Not much of a chance making the bonus board.....Ray

I am still trying to figure out what determines how many bonus points you get.  So far, all I have noticed is that the only time I get bonus points is when the STP mode is initiated.

My bonus score was reset to zero as well.

I think I figured it out.  Once STP is triggered, you get 1 bonus point for each hand won up to 100 during the triggered hand.  In order to have a bonus score of at least 1000 you would have to have STP come up a minimum of 10 times.  Am I correct?

  The rules to getting bonus points go like this: each time a multiplier bonus 2X to 8X comes up you get 1 point for every paying hand during that bonus. These are all added up during your session. BUT if a 10X multiplier comes up then this bankrupts your bonus points and you then have 0 bonus points in the session.
 
  Bottom line is that the 10X multiplier wipes out ALL of the bonus points you have earned that session.

Well that's baloney, since whenever I rarely get the 10X,  I don't get anything with it!!
