Hi everyone, I have been trying The Deal for a long long Time, but never got beyond 2 Pairs or 3 of a kind. never even a Flush or Straight and I must have play + 500 hands.
Since we are dealt 7 cards, Whats is been your best choices that got you the best hands.
1. discard first 2 cards
2. discard last 2 cards
3. discard middle cards: 3rd &4th or 4th and 5th
4. discard second and 5th card
5. discard 3rd and 6th card
6. Any other combination ???

I will appreciate your help. :)

It's random each time, so why would the discard order matter?

I've gotten everything except 4 of a kind & straight/royal flush.

Thanks mootso, I know is random, but within the randomness it might be a trend. as is in Fractal analysis, you may foresee trends if large enough samples. :angel:

I myself try not to choose cards. I rely on automatic choice. Let luck decide what will fall out to me. But if it sometimes happens, I always choose the first and the last.

Same 2 every hand for me, I've noticed even removing the 2 cards I'd rarely win whatever. So try not too worry that much and over complicate the game.

you always pick wron cards anyway.. so no reason to have a plan. Its like a lotery. You can use your combination and hope the best.

That's why I rely on luck. And let the autoselect.

It's a bad choice. I also always choose the first and the last and I am heavily losing. Pick any other two and you'll be better off... :D

Thanks for the advice, I'll try. But I think that this will not affect the result in any way. :)

I do multiple hands at once so it just deals 5 cards. I've hit straight and a flush. And I even hit a full house when I did 70 star coin deals and it got me $75!

This is luck. Lucky everyone in different ways. Someone 75 dollars, to someone nothing.

It definitely was luck, I had enough for 10 deals of 70 coins, but I've also had very long streaks of winning nothing

I'm not sure about you guys but i believe the Deal is the worst way to spend your coins, rakeback isn't any good at all and the little we get we should spend on tickets, spin & go tickets are way better option

I'm using a alternative approach to use coins on the Deal. As I'm very unlucky with draws, I'm just waiting for the prize get bigger enough and then starting to bet, 7 coins at the time, in a 12 hours space. When someone hits the jackpot, they give prizes to the one who played in the previous 12 hours. I spent a few coins and won 13 dollars til now. :)

You just have to select to do more than one hand and it will be automatic

It seems to me that it does not matter which cards you delete. The result will be the same. Only luck decides.

Not if you're disciplined enough to play exactly once per 12 hours. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy; when I see the jackpot is over 100K, I play, but only once, hoping that jackpot will not fall during uncovered hours. But it always does, miraculously beating the laws of probability. So I am rapidly losing my points...

I always discard the last two cards biggest win was four of a kind good for $30 and last week a full house once missed out on a straight flush had to settle for a flush. The previous prize payout structure with the deal was better with added freeroll tickets.
