The game doesn’t seem to reflect actual real life chances, specifically the cards. I downloaded it and played <30min realizing that the dealer won on flushes even a royal flush once, 6 times! To add to the questionably odds, I also noticed that my hand including the first three cards, seemed to always have three consecutive cards, every time as one would then start chasing the straight. Nope. Even when handed the statistically best poker hands, you will lose to a flush.

Not sure what happened, but was unable to buy chips for about 2 months. Now that I can buy chips again, seems there were some dubious changes to the algorithms. Far fewer bonus payouts than before, amazing odds for the dealer, and it seems that when I do get a great hand, the dealer doesn’t qualify. I understand it’s a game of wins and losses, but since your return, I only win about 25% of the time. That far worse odds than I’ve ever experienced in a casino. It’s too bad - I just won’t play this game as often.Update: Tried to give it another shot, but the payout frequency is not even close to payouts in actual casinos. The number of times the dealer ties my hands, or doesn’t qualify when I have a good hand, are ridiculously high. I’ve played this game for years in actual casinos, and this app has horrible payout frequency. Also, they need to change it so that we can fold the hand, but still get paid for any bonus we have in the hand we wish to fold. That’s how it’s done in actual casinos. If there’s a future update, it would be nice to see pairs bonus bet option - some versions in casinos have it and some don’t. This is a bet on a player’s two cards only: - pair of aces: 30-1 - ace/face suited: 20-1 - ace/face not suited: 10-1 - any pair besides aces: 5-1Looking forward hopefully to improvements!

This game does not simulate real world play. The random number generator is not random. After playing about 100 hands, you will see patterns emerge. Like pocket aces will lose to a dealer’s dirty diaper 90% of the time. QJ will always lose if you 4 bet. Etc. etc. the game knows what you have and will drop a dealer match card on the river almost always. Don’t call at the end unless you have the nuts. The game makes you watch ads to get chips and its goal is to take your chips so you watch more ads. Even the ads are infuriating, pregnant housewives making thousands of dollars a week playing online slots for real money. The LAST thing a pregnant housewife needs is to gamble her unborn baby’s future away before she even delivers it. Shameful. The interface is good but more side bets could be added. A Bad Beat bonus should be there, but if it was, you would always win because almost every hand is a bad beat.

As others have noted, they have an incentive for you to buy more chips. After getting you hooked, they clearly rig the game. In ultimate Texas hold em, the dealer has a slight advantage (52% or so) if you play right. At first I thought I was imagining things but I kept track and it became mathematically impossible. In fact, they seemed to make the math work against you. If you start playing it right— I.e. going 4X when you have a king and an ace or pocket kings— it works against you. When there’s nothing on the table, and you have a high card (say ace) they always have a pair. If you get a straight, they have a higher straight or a flush. If you do win, dealer doesn’t have a pair so you don’t get your bet back. Just too many coincidences.
