I just went to log in, but it picked the wrong google account.  When I said I didn't want to share information about the account I was logged in as, I saw an ugly error page.  You should probably handle this case better:

Issue added (#26), thank you

[dooglus]

2 more issues:

1) When I win, my balance goes up before the re-drawn cards are revealed.  This seems backwards.  You should show the re-drawn cards and then, if I win, update the balance.  Otherwise it kind of breaks the tension.

2) I had 13 chips, and was betting 1 coin per hand.  I clicked 'bet one' 5 times, causing the red bar to cycle around and end up back on the first column.  Then I clicked 'deal' and my balance went down by 6 to 7 chips.  I didn't get to finish the hand because "backed updated; refreshing" or some such, and now I can't get the poker to show up at all.

The issue with losing 6-7 credits after "looping around" with bet one I cannot seem to reproduce.

Try this:

Play for one chip per hand, but click 'bet one' 5 times each hand before clicking 'deal'.

Watch your balance closely.

I just had a hand where after clicking 'bet one' 5 times and clicking deal, it took off 2 chips.  I got 3 of a kind, and was paid out 6 chips, not 3.  The display says "win 3".  Is it possible that the backend thinks I played for 2 chips but the frontend thinks I played for 1?  Maybe some of my 5 quick clicks on 'bet one' are being missed by the server.

I'll see if I can get some screenshot evidence...

This isn't quite what I was aiming for, but it does indicate a problem:

I won my last hand, and ended up with 33 credits:



I didn't click any 'bet' buttons, just clicked 'deal', but it took 3 chips off me anyway leaving 30 chips



I held the 2 pairs:



and hit a full house, and my balance went to 47 (up 17!) even though the chat said I won 9:



then I reloaded the game and see that I really have 39 chips:



So it really did take 3 off me to play, and paid out 9?

After the update, I no longer see that issue.  But I see a different one:

I have 32 credits before playing:



I play for 1 credit reducing balance to 31, and get a bunch of crappy cards:



I re-deal them all, getting a win, but my balance stays at 31:



I reload the game, and see my balance is really 32:

Someone was complaining that the game uses 100% CPU on firefox, so I ran firefox to see.  It uses about 50% of one CPU core for me, with another 75% of the other core being used by the X server, so it is indeed pretty heavy.  Chromium is similar, using another 50%.

Anyway, it turned out that I was logged on as DrLex67 in firefox, and she was playing already from wherever she is at the moment.  I could see the initial 5 cards each time she hit deal, but I never got to see what cards she was holding, and never got to see the re-dealt cards.

I've seen you write somewhere that the game is meant to work across multiple devices, so I guess this is a bug that needs fixing.

Great site, I play at the blackjack/roulette, seems fair!

Wrong thread?  There's only video poker and slots.

Yes, this is definitely on my todo list (#27)

I see that's fixed now, but you're still giving the game away early by posting about big wins in the chat before the cards are revealed...

More generally:

When I win, my balance updates by one less than it should, and when I play the next hand, my balance isn't updated at all.  My balance is updated when I lose a hand, or if I reload the game.

So if I lose a game then win one (always playing for 5 chips per hand), my displayed balance is 1 less than my true balance.

If I then win the next game, my displayed balance is 3 more than it should be (two single chips from my 2 wins weren't added, and one set of 5 chips weren't deducted).

If I continue winning, my displayed balance is 7, 11, 15, 19, etc. chips too high.  Each win gives me one less chip than it should, but the next game costs 5 chips less than it should, giving a net gain of 4 chips per hand.

Here's a screenshot after I won 6 hands in a row, so my displayed balance is 19 more than my real balance (my real balance can be found in the 'withdraw' dialog at any time, btw):

Close:



But no cigar:

Good luck tonight!

I'm still trying to win that jackpot.  Here's the closest I came so far today:



Edit: and again:



Edit: threw away a pair of aces for this:



Edit: running out of chips:

New bugs:

1) when I win a quiz my balance doesn't update until I lose a hand (I think) or refresh the game.  It used to refresh as soon as I won.

2) I had a funny hand.  I held one card, clicked 'deal', the other 4 turned face down and then nothing happened.  I can still select which cards to hold - here I've selected a couple of the face-down cards to hold...

I made a deposit but the coins never showed up in my account.

Nice addition

Meanwhile, back at video poker:



Another near miss:



Again:



This time I held nothing:

I've seen like 10 of these screenshots now... 42 to go? ;-)
