Post by Karl_EDT »

In gimmicky games like Magic Deal or Dream Card or other similar games, where they tell you in the help section what the likelihood is the gimmick itself will be activated on each deal; has anyone ever seen or heard of the probability/percentage being different based on the version of nmber of hands played? That is to say, for Magic Deal, the probability for 3/5/10 Deuces Wild is 13.6% the Magic will happen on each dealt hand. But what if the probability said 13.6% on the 3 handed Help screen and said 12.8% on the 5 handed, and 12.00% for the 10 handed games. Is that possible? Obviously it would be that the casino is trying to limit it's exposure to really huge and frequent jackpots.

For as much as I have played these games over the years, I have never studied this. I am not the type of player who micromanages my play to this extent.

Rarely play Gimmick games. Ditto for what Ted said. I’m familiar with Micromanaging, I’m the usual subject of it from my other half. 😬Speaking of which, I just set my glasses down. Now where they.

lol I can relate. Magic Deal is also a game I've never ever played for real money, and I don't think I've ever seen one in any establishment I happened to pass through in recent years. As a habit thought I always read the help section of any machine I put money in.

I played Magic Deal only once in a casino. I was coming back from a Notre Dame football game and Magic Deal had just come out. I stopped into Four Wibds, New Buffalo, MI and they had 2 MD machines so I gave one a whirl. Lo and behold I was dealt 3 Magic Deal cards and the other 2 cards showing ended up to be 2 Royal cards so I got a dealt royal on 10 hands. It Auto held the royal. Haven't played it in a live casino since.
