Good to hear we got experience poker players here. :)
At Governor of Poker, we value a fair game. Therefore, we don't manipulate any cards to favor one player above another or the house. We simply shuffle the deck and deal each player the cards. To shuffle the deck, we use the Fisher–Yates algorithm, with a Mersenne Twister as the random number generator. These are proven and tested methods to shuffle a deck as fairly as possible.
In poker, 1 deck is used, while in blackjack, 6 decks are used. We shuffle the deck(s) after each round.
Do keep in mind that players aren't playing for real money, like they would in a casino, the result is that more players will take the risk and stay in the game with bad cards. Due to this the bad beat ratio is higher then it would be in a casino. Some people are just having fun.
Yeah, I'm calling ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that the random number and 'shuffle' generator works properly.
I have sat at this game and drew the SAME HOLE CARDS 3 or more times in a row. The REALLY odd thing is, SOMEtimes they MAY be of different suits, but they are still the same hand, and they ARE often the same suit as before.
Also, this game throws out more flushes in a single hour of play than a public toilet in a Greyhound bus station does all day. THAT is statistically impossible. As a programmer myself, I would like to ask what value you are using to seed the random number generator in your code, your mother's birthday?? Because it is about as random as night and day.
In fact, it is so UNRANDOM that the game can no longer be played using proper statistics to gauge whether or not to bet, raise, or fold. This is not something that occurs OCCASIONALLY, but rather, it occurs CONSTANTLY.
How do I know? Well, I spent about two hours a day over two weeks taking screenshots where VIPs with NOTHING won the hand 100% of the time against other players who had ANYTHING that was not higher than 3-of-a-kind, and ALWAYS on the turn and river cards, especially if the non-VIP made a big raise or an all-in where their hand SHOULD, statistically, have won. To make matters worse, the SAME VIP could repeat that process multiple times against other player's hands. The VIP would ALWAYS get just the right card on the turn or river to win the hand after the betting got heavy. I was using a PROPERLY coded card calculator to determine the hand probabilities, and this held true 100% of the time EVEN when the probability was over 80% that my or the other player's hand would win.
This same pattern appears to REVERSE itself when there are ZERO VIPs at a table but there ARE several under Level 30 players, especially the ones that bet like dumbasses by going all-in on a single mid-level face card and deuce pre-flop. In that configuration, the Under-30s get those same kinds of wins over other players on the turn and river cards.
Not to mention that, on multiple occasions, and despite how many players came or left the table, I've sat through over a dozen hands in a row and not gotten one single card above an 8 at all, and more often than not, both cards are lower than a 6. Just over and over again. This is something else that is not statistically possible, especially on a full table with a fluctuating number of five or seven players. It has often done the same thing to me in Sit & Go's with only three people, and head-to-head tournaments with 2.
Any correctly working statistics calculator will prove to you that the random number generator and 'shuffling' algorithm in your game simply do NOT work properly.
The developers are only half correct when they claim that this isn't "real gambling". The game is free to play, but when you are out of chips you have to wait a long time before you can spin for more - so it is very tempting to end up purchasing additional chips from the developers.
Hence they do actually have a vested interest to gobble up all your chips on the blackjack table.
I have played blackjack at casinos, and online in various forms. Blackjack on GOP3 does not seem to average out at all - not even close. I have no ax to grind here either, I have never purchased chips on GOP3, so I haven't lost money. It is a genuine observation.
This genius said it all :) (And for the conspiracy thinkers: no i don't know the guy, it's just another player)
Hi ABella,
We did all the test and are using Fisher-Yates in combination with Mersenne Twister.
These are advised by RNG certification companies as the best to use.
The odds of being dealt suited cards are roughly one in four, connectors one in six. The odds of both are one in 24. The odds of flopping four flush or four straight is one in eight, the odds of both happening are roughly one in 64. The odds of all this happening for exactly two players are worse than one in a thousand. Adding players makes it more frequent, which is why hold ‘em is played ten handed.
What I strongly suspect is that because amateur poker players would be bored stupid with truly random cards GOP3 has stacked the decks to give players hands worth seeing a flop and then flopping a board that improves multiple hands. This produces action and makes the game more fun. I think the selection of which stacked deck is used is random, as is which player gets which promising hole cards but I do not believe the set of shuffles from which to choose is complete.
The median winning poker hand in a ten handed game is two pair, jacks and eights. There is simply no way this many pat hands should be showing five handed. If you want a comparison, take notes on one of the various poker tv shows. Write down all the starting hands and then track through the end of the hand how many pat hands would have made if everyone stayed to the end.
For those people complaining, the game should correctly be unregulated by gaming authorities because there is no value to be won. It doesn’t matter that chips can be purchased, it isn’t gambling because no monetary value can be gained from the game, any more than from a video game or pinball machine.
