Some Interesting Poker Gameking sets

[rickhunter]

I borrowed a few boards from a local vendor as I try and figure out what other poker games I can get beyond my Super Star Poker set, which I believe to be the ultimate set.  I found some interesting sets that I had heard of, but never seen.  So for the sake of sharing information and just plain old "look how cool this is" here is what I thought were pretty cool poker titles.

The first one is 50 play poker with super times pay.  Basically if you bet max, you get a randomn multiplier to whatever hands are winners.  You don't get the multiplier in every play, it happens at random.

The second one is just a whole bunch of Keno games in one board. I know there are some keno fans here, so this is an fyi.

The third one is All Star Poker. It's like the Super Poker set, but doesn't have blackjack, keno, or slots. It does add a few other varieties of poker though.

The Fourth set is Guaranteed Play set.  I had seen this one time a long time ago in a casino, but I didn't have a chance to play it because there were only a few machines and they were all being used.  Basically you "BUY" a bulk amount of hands to play for a fixed amount of money. Whatever you end up with at the end of playing all those hands, gets added to your credit totals.  If you loose, the negative credits just disappear.  The set also includes the old fashioned poker style games.

The fifth set is the one I'm going to be keeping. It is called 5 star poker and it offers poker games that are rather unique.

My favorite one is the one called Dreamcard.  The game will randomnly give you a dreamcard that is based on the first 4 cards dealt.  If the dreamcard feature is triggered (again a random even with maxbet), it will provide you with the card that is probably something you would wish for.  On the screenshot I was dealt a pair of deuces in the first four cards, then the dreamcard appeared and gave me a 3rd deuce.  It just so happens that after the discards, the game dealt me another deuce so I wound up with 4 of a kind.  On the video, the second hand has the dreamcard sequence.  I was dealt 4 cards of the same suit, and the dream card came up with the 5th for a flush.

Dreamcard looks interesting, I have not seen this one before.

Can I ask, where did you find it?

[rickhunter]

I got it from gamekingslots here.  He had just gotten a bunch of boards and he let me try some.  I think he had duplicates.
Here's a couple more from the same set.

Double Pay, this one pays and amount as the cards are dealt, and then adds more if your hand improves after the draw.  What I didn't try last night was to see what happens if say you get rid of the pair that is dealt to go for a bigger hand and then you get nothing after the draw, do you still get paid for the original pair.  I will have to give that a try.

The second one is Super Times pay, where before the hand is dealt, a random multiplier is assigned to the hand, if you win, it gets multiplied by that amount.

I wish I were closer to Jeremy, it would be fun to try some out.

If you find any other interesting let us know, I'm also running the Super Star Poker and a Game king 6.3, it's hard to beat those.

This same set also has this one which I found interesting.  It is called Random Rewards Poker.  It basically has a random award for certain hands (flush, full house, 4 of a kind and straight flush)  The amounts change after each draw to "random" values.  In the picture here I got a full house and instead of getting the 45 normally assigned, I got $20.25 (81 quarters).

Cool games! It's counter-intuitive that I would see or own such great game sets that I've never seen in a casino.
I've been in a very fair number of Vegas strip/Nevada casinos, also in California, New Mexico, Colorado, and every single one of the casinos in Arizona.
They need to step up their game dammit.

The 5 star poker set is VERY cool.  Specifically the dreamcard game is quite unique and it puts a nice spin into an otherwise similar video poker gameplay.  Last time I was in vegas last year for a few days, most of the video poker machines had CRT's and really old gameking software, like 5.1 stuff.  Since video poker is pretty much the same, they may not see a reason to change out the games, but seriously, give the players better choices.

Interesting finds there, Rick! That 5-star game is great. I'm pleasantly surprised to see it out in the wild. I played it just a few weeks ago out at Red Rock Resort in Summerlin (Las Vegas).

That "Guaranteed Play" game was, as far as I know, exclusive to the Station Casinos in Las Vegas, and wound up being a flop. Interesting concept, however.

Thanks for the post. Really excited to see 5-star available for home use.

Always enjoy the new innovative games. Nice find Rick. 

I like playing DreamCard at the Riverside in Laughlin. The Westside Cannery in Vegas has a triple/five/ten play dreamcard. Only place I've seen it so far. Just played it yesterday and hit this on the first play! Three aces and a three with DreamCard bonus. Very cool.

There are some new games out on the 044 platform. At the Laughlin River Lodge, formally the River Palms, they have a new Shockwave poker game. You select how many hands after a 4K to hit another 4K for the bonus. They have like 8,10, 15, 20 hand choices. Each one has a varying jackpot level. They even had a poker with bonus wheel for four of a kinds with one hand instead of the usual 3-5 hand play. The wheel was virtual on a screen. Last time there it was gone. 

Must be nice having DreamCard for home play!

Dreamcard is really cool, a unique game to say the least.  There is also the 2x pay one, where it has a paytable for before and one after the draw.

I have a Gameking 6.2 machine, do you know if it's possible to swap boards to get different games like you are doing or will only certain boards work with my machine?

[rickhunter]

You can just buy the different flash board and you get a whole new set of games.  The best 044 flash board ever for gamekings is the Super Star Poker set.  Just do a search for it on the site and you will want to buy one.  For starters it has full version slot games of Wolf Run and Coyote Moon.  It has all the standard poker games, plus multi-hand versions.  Has Spin Poker, Ultimate X Poker, Super Times Pay Poker, blackjack, 6 versions of Keno.
