"Straight and Flush only requires 4 cards" Joker Bug.
I had level 8 x16 multiplier on straights and needed 1 play to win the game. I had Ace, King, Queen, and Jack of Hearts with Heart Multiplier Joker and it automatically chose royal flush to which I had no multiplier at all for. So instantly lost the match because it automatically chose royal flush for nearly no points vs my straight flush that would of won the game. So it doesn't seem like multipliers actually even prioritize which is best to use, which kind of defeats the purpose of majority of the entire game. If I have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ maxed out pairs that gives me x10 more than a four of kind and i get a 4 of kind with no multipliers, then like I said; it's an instant loss. That's kind of a game breaking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug if you ask me.

That's intended. There's even "bosses" that work with similar effects. Tarot cards can save your run in that exact situation.

Huh, didn't know Four Fingers let you make a Royal Flush without a 10...

Royal flush doesn't have a separate level, the problem was that you made a straight flush. The same would have happened if it was 2 3 4 5 of Hearts. Not a bug.

Any ace-high straight flush is a royal, though it doesn't give anything different than normal straight flushes. But Four Fingers even lets you mix and match the straightness and the flushness (for lack of a better term). For instance Ace King and Queen of hearts, Jack of spades, 7 of hearts. The 4 hearts makes it flush, the Ace to Jack makes it straight, therefore it's a straight flush.

That's kind of retarded if a straight gives me x20 more points than a royal flush and I'm stuck and being forced to take less points. Im refunding the ♥♥♥♥ anyways, games ass.

You're the dumb one here. You played a straight flush, not a flush, that's it.
When you select cards the poker hand you play and its score always shows, check it before playing the hand.

Imagine being angry that you're too stupid to figure out the game, and then blaming the game for your idocy. Actually hilarious lmao

i had similar problems with my flush build with the 2 suit deck.. at some point i was stuck with straight flushes when my flush was on huge multis :D what can u do "sometimes lose, always win" all thou i probly could have saved it by selling some jokers mid game :/ now that i think of it.

A straight flush contains both a straight and a flush, and you had both, that's not a bug it's how it's intended to work.
