What are the instruments making the various sounds?
Piano?

That's a good question.  I don't think video poker music is made by recording any actual musical instruments.   The computer can create sounds.  These sounds can be programmed into a sequence that makes up a tune.  They do sound like a very fast piano or even a xylophone.  I suspect they can be made with a synthesizer and speeded up.   I doubt anyone human could play that fast with their hands.  Good question for a gaming programmer.

I asked nicely for Webman to put some sleigh bells on these games for the Holidays. Nothing specific to XMAS, just some happy sounds. It didn't happen and I feel like it could have been done easily by the experts.

Making a change to a website as extensive as videopoker.com is no easy task.  I've been programming and developing web applications for nearly 20 years and the idea of developing online video poker games that actually work boggles my mind.   Believe me, it takes some serious money and effort to pull this off much less make sleigh bells ring then undo it after the holidays.  I'm sure most people don't realize how good this website is.

I like this website and do know how good it is. However, I remember the screeching owls and other sounds of Halloween that we used to have.

I think webman may have once mentioned that he had to start adding the screeching owl sounds for the Halloween contest around Valentines Day but I could be mistaken.

After recollecting a bit more it may have been closer to April 1st.

LOL

I always wondered who did those screeching sounds. LOL
No more banter about this for me.

Question about the site performance, does the credit music ever sound, what I described as stereo before, but probably better described as reverb, or melodic? The music is playing what sounds like two tracks simultaneously. I'm not using recommended hardware for the site, but wondering if it happens to you guys when playing on the right stuff.
