CLICK HERE TO PLAY VIDEO POKER BETA NOW
I said this was in the looking glass and here it is! We're launching two video poker machines that are integrated with Slots Lounge. They are both 5-card poker games and should be fairly easy to play.
Some of you may be asking what is a beta test? Well here is the OFFICIAL definition:
A beta version is the first version released outside the organization or community that develops the software, for the purpose of evaluation or real-world. The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release. Beta level software generally includes all features, but may also include known issues and bugs of a less serious variety.
What does that mean to you folks? Well it means that the games are not in their final version and may have bugs. We'll be sure to let everyone know what the bugs are.
What we need from you fine folks:
You need to let us know what you think of the game?
What you think can be done to make the game better?
Let us know what issues you have with the game?
Anything you can think of that we should know!
When you post an issue, please be sure to include:
- Which game you are playing.
- Approximately the time your are playing
- What browser you are using (AOL or Internet Explorer)
- What operating system you have (Windows XP, Vista)

After playing awhile the screen gets all jumpy and then freezes and then knocks you totally out of AOL.

On Jacks or Better the 4 of a kind seems to come up a lot. Do we really need to see it announced each time? I'd like to see only the Royal Flush wins. There are way too many announcements.
I like that you can change the speed.
I would like to see more variety in machines.
I don't like the animated scrolls on the face cards. It can be distracting and a bit annoying at times. Just have it open and stay open.
I know this is still beta, but I hate how the screen gets all jumpy and flickers off an on sometimes. It also seems to use a lot of resources, which causes AOL to freeze. If I play for an extended length of time, I get dumped offline without getting to cash out. -
I was playing Deuces Wild around 11 P EDT, and I kept getting two of the game screens that overlapped. Sometimes, I could click on the deal or draw button, and sometimes not. If I clicked on the buttons for the top screen, the focus would drop down to the lower (original) screen. Then all background windows (other ones open) would disappear and the background was white. My task bar disappeared as well. Next, I get booted from AOL, and get the restart, etc buttons.
I wondered if I would lose my accumulated credits when I got booted, since I did not get to cash out. I never returned to the same game and had to start anew. There was money in my wallet, but not sure if my credits were added or not. When I chose to leave the game, I was able to cash out. It was hard to get to the cash out button, until someone told me the 3 scroll buttons were really 4. Now I know the 3 dots between the 2nd and 3rd button takes you to all the buttons. It had been zipping past them as I used the other 3 scroll buttons.
When AOL restarted, part of the orange graphics from the Video Poker Game were embedded in my taskbar, which is at the top of my screen.
I am running Windows XP Home and using the AOL browser

One comment on the game itself. I'm an avid video poker game player in real life and I find your graphics a little annoying. In my opinion, the cards shouldn't roll over like they do...just the original deal (which is fine) and after holding the cards, the second deal should pop right up, not roll over like it does. It actually makes me dizzy to watch it, but I play really fast.
