WackerJr Posted October 2 Posted October 2 So I picked this up on Apple Arcade a few days ago and wow is this thing addictive! I’ve completed the eighth ante three times so far, but still don’t feel as though I’ve got a decent strategy. Any tips?

I’ve completed the eighth ante three times so far, but still don’t feel as though I’ve got a decent strategy. Any tips? General good tip is to try and follow what the game is trying to give you, instead of trying to force a specific hand. If the game is trying to give you two pair upgrades and Jokers that get boosted with two pairs? Then stick with two pairs. Generally in most cases, you will want to stick with one particular type of hand for most of your run. Flushes tend to be fairly reliable, but if the game is refusing to give you Jupiter cards; or Jokers that synergise with Flushes? Then there’s no point in trying to force it, just abandon the Flushes and stick with what particular hand each run is nudging you towards. That being said though? If you ever manage to see Blueprint or Brainstorm? Then do whatever it takes to make sure that you get them. They’re probably the single most powerful Jokers in the entire game.

As Dcubed says, don't hesitate to switch tactics when the first hand you're going for isn't getting anything useful later on in a run. On early difficulties you can easily change up your run even in higher Antes (4-6). Then again: I always think it's fun trying to build your entire run around the first good joker you get early 1

Julius Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Thought this had already been addressed, but anyways, PEGI are trying to stick to their decision to rate the game as 18 due to "gambling". Localthunk responds in kind: I mean, he's right. Taking aim at the waste basket that is EA Sports' football game not called FIFA is hilarious, I'm all for punching down on their practices

Dcubed Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago (edited) PEGI are a complete joke. On a similar matter... The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case got pulled from the UK eShop suddenly out of nowhere a few weeks back, with no explanation given... This happened shortly after reports came out regarding a hidden easter egg carried over from the original Famicom game, where you could get one of the ladies to strip off their clothes for your enjoyment. Naturally, most people assumed that this was the reason for the sudden eShop delisting and was expecting it to be removed... Nope. Turns out that there's a hidden Blackjack minigame, so of course it gets slapped with a PEGI 18 rating. Moral of the story? Full-on female nudity? Yeah, that's perfectly fine for children. Blackjack though? Oh no!!! Gotta protect our precious children from a game with no actual real-life gambling!!!! I'm 100% convinced that they're attacking anything with a "casino aesthetic" on purpose as a smokescreen, so that they can continue taking their bribes from lootbox peddlers like EA while maintaining a veneer of protectivism. There's no way that they don't know what they're doing by letting EA continue to sell lootboxes to children. Edited 9 hours ago by Dcubed 1
Julius Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Maybe my memory's a little hazy, but wouldn't this also mean that if Nintendo were to re-release some of the DS Mario games with the casino mini-games, they'd be slapped with an 18 rating if released today, too?

PEGI's new rules on simulated gambling don't apply retroactively, so any game that gets a straight re-release would not be affected (i.e, Super Mario 64 DS would maintain its current PEGI 12 rating if it comes out on the inevitable DS NSO for Switch 2). 1
