What are your highest scoring hands?
This was from the last Steamfest demo, but it was pretty good. Over 450k points! It is nothing compared to what was possible in the last demo, and I am sure the same is true of the current version.

I have theory crafting a possible build without even getting into Joker modifiers in last demo for a 5 Joker setup and a 5 Glass card hand, to get a few billion points in one hand, and it could be much MUCH higher if you were lucky. I won't get into it, but lets see what others have!

Sadly the highest I've ever gotten was 98k with a flush five build. I can consistently beat the demo, just can't ever break the 100k mark!!

For the current demo, I think money builds with the Bull joker (+chips per $) combined with any decent mult building jokers is a good base to build off.

Agreed. Bull seems insane if you get some lucky Tarots/gold generation early, and that Interest Voucher. The Present makes those Tarots for generating up to $50(?) gold based on the value of your Jokers insane too. I had over $250 gold one run before with Bull.

I think that Double Tag starting deck is broken. You can stack Double Tags and then get a mid-late run Polychrome or Negative Tag, skip it and then like 6+ of those Jokers appear in the shop over a few shop phases. If you high roll good Jokers right then it is completely absurd. Imagine getting 5+ guaranteed Negative Jokers. You need money to back this play up, but it pairs well with the Bull setup. That is probably the best way to get the highest scores possible right now.

That Joker that you sell after 3 blinds to duplicate a random Joker is crazy cuz it duplicates modifiers on them. Imagine getting a Polychrome or Negative Bull and duplicating it a few times...my god.

Just got this SICK setup a moment ago for over 300k points! Could have been so much higher if I got lucky with the Lucky 3 repeating and getting either of its +20 Multipliers. Getting both of them would have doubled the score, and would have been my highest hand so far.

You can just see the crazy amount of additions you could add to this setup too. Only 1 Joker modified, one of the Jokers is only contributing the 1.5x Mult from the Rare Joker, some of the cards have no modifiers, no Negative Jokers, etc.

60k when i figured out you can move jokers around LMAO

I messed up earlier, got 138k when it could've been significantly higher. Had a flush build going with a holographic Greedy Joker, Throwback, a well stocked Bull (AKA had lots of money), and Hologram, but my mistake was with Photograph. I forgot to move my facecard to the right so it multiplied a lot less. Not sure how much I lost out on, I think it could've been maybe 3 or 4 times more.

I have no idea what my highest scoring hand was. Is this recorded? If not, it should be a thing that you can check out on your profile.

Options > Stats on the main menu. It doesn't tell you what that run was like or what hand it was, but it does tell you your all time high score.

My new PB in the current demo: 221,089, using a flush of diamonds. Flush was upgraded a few times too.
Jokers:
Popcorn (at +20, got a negative joker in a last round spectral pack so just bought the best thing I could find in that store)
Hack (Holographic)
Greedy Joker (Negative)
Swashbuckler
Fortune Teller (at +30 or something) (Polychrome)
Obelisk (x2.75 I think)
Baseball Card (Negative)

Also used a glass 4 of diamonds card, which triggered twice, and made sure to put that as far to the right as possible this time so it'd multiply as much mult as from Greedy possible. Too bad I couldn't find a good uncommon card instead of Popcorn. Overall a really nice joker combo though, it could easily have gone way higher with a little luck.

Highest single hand I've seen is 10,381,224,320.

5 Glass cards, with red stamps. ~5 steel cards in hand, and then a bunch of multiplier nuttiness up top, using the Spectral card deck.

EDIT: oh, now I realise the OP was about the demo era. Don't remember, I did not care that much about high scores back then, it was WAY less than a million for me. :)

EDIT #2: all records are meant to be broken

I cracked 30 million in one of the Challenges (I think it was Madness?). But I think in the regular game (though the Ante 8 Boss) it's 9 mil.

Unseeded, I recently scored Naneinf in one hand (see seed and screenshot on my profile if your interested in replicating it.

1.2 billion is my PB

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3174416637

i had the Seltzer bottle retrigger a bunch of glass cards, and then blueprint and brainstorm copy Seltzer to retrigger them again multiple more times.

My highest legitimate card is "4.064e14". I tried the same seed again and got "6.853e23". https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198823182995/screenshot/2411186208122297478/
