Introducing holoz0r's Steem Monsters Poker: No Upvote, No Resteem, No Follow Required!

in #steemmonsters6 years ago (edited)

I had an idea regarding some "mini-games" we can introduce within the Steem Monsters Community. The Steem Monsters are on cards. One of the most popular card games in the world is Poker.

Send me 2.5 STEEM. I send you a BETA Booster Pack.
Open the Pack. Post a screenshot in the comments.
I will reply with what you "got" from the below hands:

If you get:

A Straight = Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Gold Foil, you get 60% of the liquid post rewards - If this does not occur, this "jackpots" into the next tier.

Full house = 2 and 3 of a kind can be different splinters (Pool of 20% of Post Rewards)

4 of a Kind = 4 cards from the same splinter. (Pool of 7.5% of Post Rewards)

3 of a Kind = 3 cards from the same splinter. (Pool of 2.5% of Post Rewards)

2 pair = (2 different sets of two of a kind) = 100% Upvote


2 of a Kind = 2 Cards from the same splinter. (50% upvote on your comment)

Rewards are calculated and distributed after post pay out. I'm giving away 100% of the liquid post rewards. I'm stating 2.5/STEEM per booster pack to hedge against current price volatility. This "pack fee" will vary week to week.

You will only be eligible if you have opened a pack after I have sent you one. If you have not, and you post, your entry will not be considered valid.

This brings additional excitement to opening Steem Monster packs, and can provide value to "ordinary" packs - it also allows you to have some fun with your fellow Steemians!

Let the games begin!

Please allow up to 8-12 hours for me to send you the pack, I do have to sleep! :D (If I'm awake, it will be done within the hour!)

Great concept @holoz0r, simple ideas like this that turn every phase of the game into another mini game is the ingenuity we need here as a community!

Thanks! I'm excited to see what people draw, and it is indeed an interesting experiment!

First, I love the idea... And I also have a suggestion... To make it more clear, if you could post a "sample" of each winning hand so that we can see exactly what qualifies. You could make them in little pics so it doesn't take up too much space. I wasn't fully clear on what a full house was for instance. But a pic will tell it very easily :)

I will add this in as we get examples :)

cool :) ... I love the idea!

Congratulations, you got 2x Two of a Kind! You won a 100% Upvote!

Verified. Congratulations! :D You're currently in the prize pool calculations for this week!

Thanks for playing, unfortunately, no win here!

At least you got an example screenshot for a non-win. Thanks for the chance.

You got a full spectrum of colours though, it will be interesting to see how rare that is in packs (or common!) - I might fiddle with the prize tiers as we see more data come in from more entrants. You were only the third. Thank you for trusting me with this game.

I love it! :)
I'll buy a hand later today.

Great! I may be asleep when the Steem comes through (its 10:33PM for me here) - but when I wake up, it'll be sent!

Full House ... but invalid as i didn't buy a pack for that ...

Thanks, included it in the post above as an example. :)

@Jarunik I watched you open so many packs last night on your live feed that Minotaur in that spread position showed up so many times

Yes. After so many packs it became obvious that some cards have their spot unless there is a higher priority card to move them. I will not spoil my full analysis though. ;-)

I love this and thanks for joining @contestkings whitelist!

My friend, what will happen if I send you the 2.5 steem, you send me the booster and I show you another booster that I have bought already? How will you know that the booster I an showing you is the one you sent me?

I know that people have cheatedif they do this by verifying the first single pack they open on the Peak Monsters block explorer. :)
