Gold Exclusive
My Favorites
Hi There,
I was just wondering, do the gold players have different payouts in this Dream poker contest? It would seem as though they do, as I can't even get remotely close to the 38,000 on the leaderboard. Best I've done so far is 11,000, and I've tried and played all the games. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Keep your chin up... there is some tough (and lucky) competition out there. But only 2 of the top 10 players are gold members.For more info, I'll just paste the responses in our FAQ that address this topic:All of our contests end up with very impressive scores at the top of
the list. Keep in mind that in every contest, millions of hands are
played. With thousands of players competing, it takes great luck to
appear even in the top 100 scores, which we post at the conclusion of
most contests.
Some have wondered how a player can average hundreds of points per hand.
In this case, this is not an accurate way to look at a contest session.
Nobody plays 200 hands and wins them all. The top scores almost always
contain a very lucky winning deal worth thousands of points on its own,
that is just the nature of the game. A dealt royal flush (there are
always several of these in each contest) in triple play is worth 12,000
points in itself.
If you evaluate the best possible winning deal for a game, you can
be pretty sure somewhere in the millions of hands played, someone is
going to achieve that, or close to it. If you are curious about how the
winners achieved such high scores, be sure to check the contest results
at the conclusion of the contest where we tell you the exact cards from
their winning hands.
So while you stare at those monumental scores on the board, how do
you know how you measure up? A good baseline would be to estimate the average
score, which is usually around 98% return for a game. In a game with
200 deals and a bet of 15 for each deal, the average session score
might be around 2,940.
Of course, the more deals you play, the more chances you have at
hitting those lucky hands. Someone is going to come out on top, and it
could just as easily be your next session.Regardless of membership status, each hand is dealt using the same
random number generator and Gold members and Basic members all play on
an identical game application. This ensures a fair game every session
for all members.
The additional benefits of Gold Membership during contest play are
the ability to participate in the real-time chat, view the best hands
of other player sessions, and the removal of advertisements during
gameplay.
There are additional benefits of Gold Membership outside of the
contests, such as Credit Tracking on your favorite games, Training Mode, the removal
of advertising site-wide, and Sneak Peeks at the latest games.
