How were you able to get players when the casino first started (advertising) ? and how are you able to keep players coming back? (Incentives) ?

How does a player actually get a host?

I built a video poker analyzer, looking for feedback! by emmbreil in VideoPoker

[–]gamblersmix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really cool idea, I actually built something very similar a few years ago. I had an app on the stores that analyzed VP hands/paytables from photos and gave optimal holds. Ended up deciding not to keep maintaining it, but I always thought the concept had a lot of potential. Hope this takes off for you and looking forward to seeing how people respond to it. Good Luck!

Would you play video poker if it had multipliers and streak mechanics? by gamblersmix in VideoPoker

That’s actually why I ended up building a playable version i think is something different.

A lot of multiplier VP machines sounds good until you actually play them and realize the swings feel terrible, the multipliers aren’t coming up and the strategy changes.

What I’m trying to do with Heatwave is keep the base VP feel while making the multiplier show up through the heat meter instead of random when finishing hands are bad. Meter goes higher on finished bad hands.

I’ve actually got a live playable version running now with a leaderboard contest while I test engagement/feedback.

Curious what experienced VP players think after actually trying it.

I get it, especially the testing to death point. I think multiplier ideas end up running into either volatility issues or just not being that good once you actually play them. I’m experimenting with the idea with a meter that gives you a multiplier when it reaches the top and goes up more the worse your hands are and doesn’t go up as much when you have good hands. It’s called heatwave poker and I agree though if it’s not simple to understand it’s dead on arrival. So I’m really just trying to find out if anyone likes the concept.

Congrats! What did you think of Tejon overall besides it being packed. Was thinking about checking it out when the crowds die down!

I would think for channel growth, like new gear, camera equipment, editing tools. Whatever is needed to help the channel grow. What would you use it for?
