So the slam tilt guys also put out the call for names for your game. I was running through options, but maybe a bit better understanding of the rules would help. Are you going for a certain style of poker, say texas hold em? Or simply going for best hands? Anyways, following your progress is very interesting bud!
When the right hand four bank is down, does the ball just roll back down via the diverter? Trying to think if anything could be back there to bit when the drops are down.
Also, no help on the name bud. Been trying to think of one and drawing dead. Wait maybe that can be it. Drawing dead....
Quoted from zacaj:The right hand bank is five targets, not four. if the diverter is closed the ball would just feed back the right inlane, but generally when not in multiball the diverter is open, allowing you to shoot behind the drops (or under the upper right flipper while you hold it up) to get back to the shooter lane.
Originally I wanted to have a rubber behind the lower 2-3 drops, so that you could shoot under the flipper, or knock down the upper drops to widen that shot and make it easier, while the lower ones would bounce as normal, but there isn't enough room to fit much behind there without interfering with the shooter lane. Same goes for the left hand bank. Would like to put two posts and a rubber to back the targets but no room. This game would play way different if it was a widebody and I had an extra inch or two to play with....
Right on. That makes sense.
For name/concept maybe something like Dealer's Choice would make sense. You mentioned some of the rules being around stud poker, but dealers choice would give you some flexibility to mix it up with varying types of poker and then you could have other styles for modes/multiballs/etc.

Quoted from zacaj:That would be a fitting name, but there's already a game with that name: https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=649&picno=623
Doh, I looked up quite a few and started to realize a great many card games have been made. I must have let that one slip through.
Ya man, there are so many out there.
Ok how about something centered around "Bluff" or "Bluffing"? You could use that with your rules for risk/reward decisions maybe. Like call and cash in or bluff and try to increase the pot. Not exactly sure how it would work, but its a start. I don't see anything on ipdb with bluff in the name.
