Peek and Play

[QUOTE=duedue]It is a fun game but definitely frustrating !! I'll say...I was dealt a royal (playing deuces wild) and had to throw it away. That hurt.[/QUOTE]If you're dealt a royal, you just hold all 5 cards. You don't have to take the Peek card if you hold them all.[/QUOTE]Webman, it would have helped to have that fact in the game info!

Agree! To be fair it does increase the lower end payouts such as 2 pair, flushes and FHsAgreed, especially with the full house.  But what Peek giveth, Peek taketh away with dealt 2 pair where the peek card prevents the full house too.This game may be better when playing non-kicker games.  As soon as I figured it out I went looking for "super aces" but alas, it was not to be found.Edited to add, I might be more inclined to play this is there was a feature where you could also reject the "peek" card, which might work if there was an additional monetary input.

Today I got 4 to a RF and an unsuited A on the peek. Nearly cried.

You need to be told to hold all five cards of a pat hand?

i was thinking the same thing

Sorry...I don't understand the complaints. Seems to be as fair as any other games. Kind of the opposite of Dream Card...Dream Card does all the work for you, & you still bust...Peek & Play makes you use your brain to figure out alternative holds. Plus...I like that it slows down my play...could save me a bunch of bucks in a casino..lol. Also..if you need to give your brain a rest, you can always play Keno...or my favorite...take a nap...

Well, the nightmare scenario happened...

First off, had 20 4 to a Royal draws that I decided to pass on because I didn't want to see a stupid, worthless Royal since I have been waiting over 2.5 years for one in the casino.

Later on...here comes my punishment for not drawing at the 4 to a Royals, or so I thought. Aces with kicker from a pair of Aces.



What I would have won playing quarters...would just match my biggest one day casino win...no big deal right?


Another session, more punishment, a perfect pull...since the "peek" card is blocking me.


Why didn't I give up now??? Nope a glutton for punishment.

Have a below average session for 90 hands and see this...OH NO...



I HIT the target hand for the contest. Problem is, my score is crappy enough I need more than this to get anything!



The rest of my hands basically brick out and I'm about 2000 points from the top 10 (required to get ANYTHING). Currently 36th for the week and 5th best for today only (which doesn't matter).

If I would have been a degenerate and betting $17.50 per round...fml.


Since I'm a masochist. I play one more session.

Another dealt quad, not the one that matters though...



Now I made 4 quads out of 10!! Oh just a 1 in 1786 pull...


And hell, let's get 3 more quad 7s!!! A much more pedestrian 1 in 135.5, but c'mon!


And two more quads when the "peek" card blocks the draw...1 in 55


My result for the very next round:


If I could take THAT score and add-in my dealt AWAK...I'd be in the lead for the weekly contest with 3 hours left and would get $150 cash to soften the blow of a dealt AWAK on TDB. But instead, I'm going to get jack squat! Why did this game have to be intriguing enough for me to want to play these dang contests again??? This past week is the first time I've played one of these in a few months probably, maybe all year.

Well, if you finish top 10 on the day you get 5000 player points.

I'm glad this game is gone from the weekly. I can't imagine paying the 40% per hand premium for a potential brick on multi-play, but single handed it could be okay. I think I'd still do better just playing standard single hand, though.

Am I reading this correctly? You didn't draw to four to the royal because you didn't want to "waste" one?
