I assume the default payscale is the same on both versions
800 / 50 / 80-40-20 / 8 5 4 3 2 1
BTW I have version 5.0
Aha! We're talking about two different games--at least as far as the
display
is concerned!
Double Jackpot Poker on my later version of WinPoker is:
Royal 4000
SF 250
4 Aces w KQJ 800
4 Aces 400
4 KQJ w AKQJ 400
4 KQJ 200
4 2s-10s 100
FH 40
Flush 25
Straight 20
Trips 15
Two Pair 10
Jacks or Better 5So it seems that those asterisks you mentioned DO mean an additional
payoff
not shown in your paytable--the kicker hands which are shown in the quad
Ace
and quad KQJ hands on the paytable above. Maybe your older version of WP
couldn't handle kicker hands?
I guess you are right. It is very strange, since the user defiend games in
version
5.0 handle kickers just fine. It also still fails to explain the way the
return of bet
coulumn gives the wrong number for the game that is intended.when I use the
game
from the default set of games. Oh well, I think it is now clear that the
number
truly is correct if and only if the kicker payouts that you give are part of
the paytable.
I think this is a fairly big bug in BDPW 5.0, though once one becomes aware
of it,
one can use the user defined games to avoid any problems. In fact, it seems
wise to
double check ANY kicker game yourself by defining it yourself, at least if
you have
an older version of BDPW.
Thanks.
