The introduction of the "short deck" segment takes away cards 2-5 to alleviate the chances of crappy hands winning because they cant create their own algorithm; so they are stuck with modifying the one in place...

I know the interface of the app itself is clearly of an old design from the early 2000s; we had a nicer lobby interface on the casino site I worked with back then...

Its still hard to say the actual potential of the coin itself in the cryptocurrency world; but if the game was original coding and the game play and interface was better, who's to say where it all could have gone or may still go...

The reality is that Cryptocurrencies are still in their embryo state and the internet is still an infant...

Here is my Experience w/ the CoinPoker game... I began around June 2018 during the "to the Moon" gimmick and played into the "Asian" whatever gimmick theme... Let me give some back ground of myself as an online poker player; at one time on XBox was the World Series of Poker game; I played mostly Ranked Games and was ranked in the Top 20 list, all the regulars at the top know me...
So in other words I have played thousands of digital poker hands... Going back further in my history as an IT person I used to work for an online casino site in 2001 and was sent to Las Vegas to learn the software; later I worked on gaming machines for a small company that serviced the card readers... Anyways I am very familiar with VAG & RNG Algorithms...

Back to CoinPoker; I got into it cause I was looking for a new poker game to play and the one WSOP on FB is much too easy to stack up so I started to play this... At first it was a decent RNG design... However I would read their press releases and whitepapers and if you take the time they talk about that the Algorithm is a standard RNG that LEARNS off of the players habits...
If you're a person of the tech community and know of Hold'em Generators (as some are previously discussing to access their hands data) that will give one a very good probability generator used as a side app during game play...

What I noticed is that because the software is designed to "learn off player habits" because so many "all-in'ers" habits of going all in on pre-flop the system has learned to reward these people holding crappy cards... Because the logic in reality is with real money, you would never go all in on a 2-8 off suit pre-flop so the system based the players actions as "fact of matter" rather than the system actually knowing what is dealt...
Hence, why they had the "submit your best hand" bs thing and have restricted hands played information because I told them I know the game is hacked and rigged; period.

How do I know this for sure..?!

Well as previously mention, I have played thousands of digital hands and have a good understanding of how the backbone of these things work...

So when I was playing one day I swear to everything I have; that I got the same hand 3 times in a row..!
Not same #'s different suit kind of stuff, the same exact 2 fucking cards 3 times in a row..!
Now anyone who plays cards at all will say that for that to happen the dealer must have set and rigged the deck and/or is clearly dealing off the bottom of the deck to get the card(s) to the desired players...

And not for nothing a lot of times the junk of junk hands wins and the reality is; this poker game is totally hacked and/or rigged...
The company opening a "New Office" in a NEW COUNTRY from when they began should be a sign of something lurky too...
I suspect that the hackers will expose CoinPoker for the rigged fraud they are...

Unless they change the algorithm to not learn from shitty players and to actually create an original algorithm of their own, is the only way for them to legitimize their endeavor...

I would NOT sink a 1/10th of a cent of real cash into this Currency; if you want to play a game that is rigged and that will frustrate the hell out of you trying to legitimately win with a real quality hand, this is NOT the game for you..!
