Tips for the 100m hand unlock?
Anyone got some good tips for getting this unlock?

In all my time playing my best hand to date is 10.5m so I'm considerably short of getting this particular unlock. Any good strategies would be welcomed!

I don't remember what all i was doing but a high card build early on can do it with a solid stone set up and scaling like green or bus. Might have been using vampire but sure there are much better ways.

It definitely requires a bit of luck. I had a run earlier which ended up being a Flush build and the best hand score I got in that was just short of 1m. Only got 1 red seal and didn't get any retriggering Jokers.

Plasma deck with Baron + Mime, Blueprint is a bonus too. Stack up those kings, red seal if you can and you will smash that 100m in no time

Just managed to do it on Plasma Deck by having lots of Glass Aces (basic boost with Scholar joker), jokers that activated them multiple times (Blueprint into Hanging Chad), jokers that multiplied my five-of-a-kind hand score (The Trio, The Family) and Observatory voucher with Planet X in my inventory.
The beginning was very humble, slowly building up more Aces and multiplier jokers until my income was stable (inital boost from Gold Seals and Gold + Lucky cards, up to $200 with interest jokers and vouchers) and eventually rolled a Blueprint and realized it was ideal for the re-activation synergy (the first played Glass Ace would multiply five times, then followed by additional Glass Aces and finally the x3 and x4 Jokers and Observatory).
I didn't even have that many Aces in my final form of the deck (IIRC a total of 10 at later point, never got Flush Five and the Glass Aces kept breaking which luckily gave me another achievement) and didn't have a single Negative Joker, but having enough discards (Wasteful Voucher) meant that getting even one hand that fulfilled the conditions (basically two Glass Aces out of five) instantly exploded the score.

I got the idea for that deck basically from my previous unsuccessful attempt that re-activated Red Seal Kings & Queens (Triboulet) which was running very well until I carelessly ran into a boss that disabled face cards (ie. every single card that my build was relying on).
Honestly I'm extremely happy that I managed to come up with these decks on my own, beating Ante 12 was so satisfying.

Managed to get this one after a good few attempts. Jokers were Scholar (negative), stencil (negative), Seltzer, Arrowhead (Holographics) and Triboulet. A red seal on both a King and a Queen, one of which was a glass card and that got me the hand I needed (which was a AKKQQ spade flush) - total hand score was almost 436m. Now to try and get the Ante 12 unlock - sadly I got the Seltzer slightly too soon to get past Ante 10!

In general, you can also do specific strats. Idol and one card type one decks, triboulet and sock and busken, photograph and hanging chad etc.

Reading y'all's discussion I feel rather lucky then. I started playing this game on my iPad this past Friday evening and I've probably done 10-ish runs so far. I had a rather strong run on Sunday that saw me hit 140M on a single hand. It was a crazy flush build. I recall having the joker that let me trigger the first card 2 additional times, the joker that duplicates another joker. A joker that gave me x1.5 mult for each played spade, a joker that made clubs and spades the same, and a joker that gave x3 mult if I had at least 16 enhanced cards.

None of the joker names y'all be throwing around stood out to me though, which means I have much to discover yet and plenty of opportunity to hit bigger numbers and higher antes.
