House of Cards Pattern

An example would be: If you have card 1 in the first slot, there is a good chance that slot 5 will have card 2. I suggest some people pop an excel sheet open and start looking for patterns, I'll be doing this for Act 3.

I really don't think the random generator for this game works this way. The reason i say this is because the first time i played it (for the questline), i got a royal flush. I knew after the third card i tapped that this is what i was going to end up with, and it didn't matter what card i selected - it was already predetermined that this was the hand i was going to win with. So, the randomness is not 'where' the cards are.

Regardless, there would still be a pattern then, but it wouldn't matter what card you pick like cheats, the first time you play the game, and other special circumstance plays. The only way it would be true random would if it utilized a rand type operator in the code with special case circumstances met above (below) a certain threshhold.

Which one it is, I don't know. If no one has confirmed which case it is, I will get some data once Act 3 comes around.

Going to be a ton of work with no payoff. No thanks.

Just replying to your comment to say I have no comment.

Its all gambling - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.... game will keep going either way

Your first post is to tell us that there must be some pattern, but you don't actually know what it is, but that we should look for it?

This info should really help we WIN Tapped Out now. Thanks!!

THIS, this right here is why i think i give you a hard time, you asked in that "stop bumping useless threads" thread why people give you a hard time when you do it but are more lenient when others do it?

you are right the op provided no info and it seems unnecessary but your post is much less necessary and its less constructive, just constructive criticism.

However the OP has a point there, allow me to make a theory, like all previous games dice den, slots, this game doesnt work with real world logic, instead it just gives you preset results. I cant prove this because you dont know the value of the other 5 cards but it seems that choosing is pointless just choose 5 cards the outcome will be the same regardless of which 5 out of 10 cards you choose.

The real pattern is: if you don notice a pattern by the 3 card flipped you'll probably lose, which is basic common sense.

I've played the card game a couple dozen times now and the payoffs are WAY out of proportion to the hand you draw. For example, I drew a pair and got $20. I drew a royal flush and got $220. Anyone who plays poker knows the odds of drawing a royal flush are far less likely than of a simple pair. And yes, as the OP noted, there does seem to be a pattern to the hands. Four of a kind is a bit common, unlike in a real poker game. So far, I've not seen any payoff larger than the $400 you get on the slots.

Ephphoneapps is right, there is no point in doing a math analysis on Homer's House of Cards. This is not a true random card game. It's designed to let you win. Even when you lose, the courtesy chip is still worth 10 green chips, or blue chips when we get to act 3. Based on what I've seen from playing a few tokens on Homer's poker like game, the most consistent way to get green chips is to bet on 7 in the dice den. If you want to play a game and have fun, go for the slot machine or poker game.

I genuinly don't think it is that way, i got a royal flush the first time too( that's scripted i believe) but the rest are random
The first time i went through it i got really lucky,hittinf multiple full houses and royal selections but the second set i barely hit one. It wasn't set up for me to lose 8+ in a row, so i'm thinking it's similar to the balloon game, and completely random.
Also i have no idea how to get it to cheat, it happened once in about 50 games

Well yeah 4 of a kinds etc are going to be commin,the algorithem is set so youcan actually win. In an actual real life game the decks could be stacked against a 4 of a kind from the beginning, here the possibilty has to be there
