Any Stud screenshots?

**KasinoKing** · 15th September 2004, 11:18 AM

The winning screen shots in this section are mightily impressive! I struggle to believe they are all genuine due to the quantity of monster hits by Meister & Robwin � but if they are � WOW!

Most of the win are Video Poker. I only occasionally dabble at this, and would break open the champagne if I even managed to hit a full-house!

But has anyone got any nice Caribbean Stud winners?
If I�d known how to take screenshots at the time, I would show you the 2 frustrating near misses I had last year:-
(Note: I only play very small stakes, and rarely play the bonus coin)

Early in July I was playing stud in � William Hill when I got dealt something I have NEVER seen before - 3 4 5 6 7 of hearts - a straight flush! My ante was only �1, but luckily for me the dealer had a pair of queens, meaning I won �100 (50/1). But, IF ONLY I had played the bonus I would have won... �15,000!!! ...several choice words came to mind!

About a week later I was playing � Littlewoods, and my jaw quite literally hit the floor when I got dealt 2 3 4 5 6 of Diamonds!! Unfortunately this time the dealer didn't have a qualifying hand & I won the princely sum of just �1!

Several more words came to mind...! (At least they didn't have a bonus feature, so I didn't have to say 'if only' again!).
The odds of getting a straight flush in this game is 1 in 72,193. Having not seen one in 4-years of (near daily) gambling, I hit it twice in a week! I hope that's not all my good luck used up...!
I�m still waiting�..

So - any nice Stud screenshots anyone?

Wow! Nice hits

On the bright side, if you'd been playing the bonus every time, you'd have proably lost more than the �15k before and since.

The "qualifying" hand thing is a reason i rarely play the tables - the frustration would be too much and you can guarantee the day a Royal came up what would happen! By my calcualtions the QH would hit about 45% of the time so you're odds of winning off an SF deal are probably twice what you quote effectively.

I actually got 4 of a kind on this game once, before it was progressive so there was no bonus bet option. Of course the dealer didn't qualify and I was so pissed I didn't take a screen shot (and luckily didn't take a shot at the screen either, though I wanted to!).

I'm fortunate to have got 4 OAK twice at MG casinos. Both times dealer qualified, once with a flush! Unfortunately I never took a screenshot of them. I do like the payout for the rarer hands at MG casinos because they pay much more, 99-1 instead of 20-1 for 4OAK. On the downside, they ony pay 1-1 for two pairs so you need to hit the big hands.

Too right! One of the first thing's I noticed when first playing a MicroCrap casino was this ludicrous 1/1 payout for 2 pairs. This is a blatant rip-off!! Yeah OK, the bigger hands pay more, but getting one is very unlikely, and chances are the dealer wont qual anyway!

Apart from all this - I still think all MG software is dodgy anyway - I've had far too many runs of ridiculous dealer hands at Stud & Blackjack to ever fully trust them again. I'm sure the house edge is set higher than other software's.
But WTG on geting qual on both your 4AOK's!

PS: I'm still waiting for some screenshots....

MG Carribean Stud Poker actually has a lower house edge compared to the standard pay table. The variance is much higher and you're right about needing the dealer to qualify for those big hands. I can imagine how annoyed i would be to wait for ages to be dealt a good hand and for the dealer not qualify....or you could just not play the game.

I remember 32red used to have a happy hour type promotion and would promise to pay you for the Royal Flush in Stud Poker even if the dealer didn't qualify. Of course, the difficult part is to hit the Royal Flush first
