Video Poker Forum

Have you all noticed how poorly constructed these video games are ??  For example:
 
Pick a Pair...you neither "pick a pair" nor "pick a stack"...you actually pick a single card...it is screwy and oddly simplistic.
 
Random Rewards are odd payout numbers instead of even amounts that only annoy.
 
Multi-Strike will give a free ride even though you already qualify.. It should change to a free ride on the next stack or shut up.  It is just annoying. 
 
Some of the games do not post payouts for the hands on the side...annoying
 
The new Build a Wheel shows the amounts so quickly one cannot take it in... it is also annoying.
 
By the way, I love VP and perhaps I am tired tonight...but wanted to see if others are annoyed by these poorly constructed games......
 
Then there is that game that punishes for having a Queen or King in your hand...and rewards small cards...clever but so annoying too.
 
On a positive note, the sounds for the hands are helpful.
 
 

Ohh...oooo...I got this one.If they are annoying, don't play them.No one's making you, I promise. (unless you work for a team...woe is me!)

The issue is greater than "don't play them".  There is an expectation of fairness and clear rules.  At some point, someone will file complaints with Gaming Commissions.  We should all insist on fair play and clear rules.  This VP website can take the lead and expose the many flaws in these new variations. 
 
For another annoying poorly constructed game, look at Double Pay Spin Poker.  It is not evident from the rules that many hands are impossible to achieve.  This is because the key cards are used up in lines 1 and 3.  Notice how the cards are partially obscured making correct play very difficult. 
     See the discussion in the above thread on Spin Poker.  The rules do not make it clear that this game is quite different from typical multiline games.

  They are leading someone in offering what they do for free.  I don't think you need to define their obligations to society for them.  Keep on offering whatever free benefits you care to VP.com and I, personally, will demand nothing and be appreciative of anything. 

A WHINE CELLAR!!!WRONG - any casino with a basement

I complain mostly before I play, about having to go and play.This is of course irrespective of results, since it occurs before they exist.Further, if the play lasts too long, I complain about the long hours and pain, also irrespective of winning or losing. I will also complain about uncomfortable seats, loud music, and bad drinks.I have never complained about results, or as a result of results, as far as I can remember. I see no reason to let random events over which I have no control ruin my day. I worry about stuff I can change.~FK
