Bonus Scores not tabulating correctly

Post by damule »

If I read the contest rules correctly, the bonus scores are not adding up right: it should take the number of bonus hands per deal (1, 2, or 3) and multiply by the deal number (1 through 100). What's occurring is: the "position" of the bonus hand (top=1, middle=2, bottom=3) is multiplying the deal number from what I've observed.

Yes, the bonus tabulation is a little wonky, but it's consistently and reliably wonky for everyone so we're going to roll with it. It would seem unfair to the leaders if we were to reset at this point and everyone still has the same opportunities going forward.  The bonus is being awarded as described (quad times deal), with the following additional exception:  If you receive a bonus and the hand above it is not a win of any kind, you will also receive a bonus for that hand. If your bonus is on the bottom line and the two lines above are not winners, they will also be awarded a bonus.Here are the instances where you will receive additional bonus points:-bottom hand bonus, middle hand no win, top hand no win: 3x bonus-bottom hand bonus, middle hand win: 1x bonus-bottom hand bonus, middle hand no win, top hand win: 2x bonus-middle hand bonus, top no win: 2x bonus-middle hand bonus, top win: 1x bonus-top hand bonus: 1x bonusAnd of course, a dealt bonus where the 4 of a kind is held will be 3x as well.
Since the bonus is not an actual feature of the casino game, it was not
tested as thoroughly as usual and we apologize for any confusion.
