Feel free to test my new strip blackjack game.

http://www.pwpwpoker.com/strip_poker/st ... ack_andie/

This game is still in beta test stage.
If possible play with Firefox (or with Internet explorer 8 with "smart image dithering" disabled) and not with internet explorer 9.

At the end, the link to get a password is a sponsor link (but they are supposed to give you real a password).

This is a prerelease, feel free to give your opinion.

Nice game.

It seems to work fine with IE9.

There's a bug in that if you push (dealer and player gets the same score) you still lose your bet. It should refund the bet.

Not really a bug, but I suggest that you take the "hit" button away when the player gets 21.

The card images are a little distorted, especially in the upper left number. Makes it a bit hard to read them, especially when they're moving.

I wish the cards moved a little faster.

I would raise a caution.
Be warned that there are four links present on the opening game page that navigate to sites which take well and truly off-site!

on the opening page ?
Well no there is a single link on "gamebp"

On the play page, there is 3 links.
I would say as usual.

Well if the dealer gets 21 with 2 cards and if you get 21 with more than 2 cards, then he wins.
I tested the other cases.

IE9 !

what are these truly off-sites links ??

So i updated the game:

- mouseover on "gamebp" on the start screen, to make the link area more obvious
- updated the dealer's speed
- "hit" is disabled:
- if the player reaches 21 AND if the game is not splitted
(i tried to do the same thing when the game for a splitted game, but it seems harder to do and i don't think that the goal worthes the job)

+ mouse over, on the 2 buttons that open a webpage to warn the player there is a link
+ corrected a bug when playing $50

Also if the problem is related with the content of these links, then let me know.
This is perhap's my sponsor.

I found these locations where one can be unwittingly navigated away from the game:
Loading page: "Gamebp" insignia - "The game black page"
Opening page of game:
Below picture: Cybererotica link
Gamebp java button: "The game black page"
Timdir java button: Link to an adult directory
"About": contents here link to adult directories and one goes back to "The game black page".

and now, after my update, the links looks less like blind links ?

I checked those locations to which I referred prior to that slightly earlier comment re the "unwittingly navigated away".
The version I just saw is identical. The links are only "blind" in as much as they are hidden behind buttons or text.

put the mouse over the buttons timdir and gamebp

Cybererotica link: explicitely written as link

Nice improvements, gamebp. I like the faster moving cards. And, either I was wrong about the "push" situation or you fixed it, because it's working correctly now.

The distortion on the cards is not an IE9 issue. I see it in Firefox as well. It looks like you tried to make the upper left corner of the cards look like a light is reflecting off of them. That makes the number a little harder to read. It's not as big a deal now that the cards move faster, though. Before I tried to read the cards while I was waiting for the animation to finish. Now I don't need to.

Now a gameplay issue. The mechanics of the game are such that, as soon as you get below $1000, you're better off starting over than continuing. If you go down to $400 and fight your way back to $1000, you really get nothing for it. On the other hand, if you go down to $400, restart, and THEN earn that $600, you're rewarded.

What if you changed the mechanic to one where you use your money to pay for her to progressively strip? Right now, you go to the first stage of undress when you get to $1200, but go back to fully dressed if you fall below that amount. You might consider this instead:
The player starts with $400. At any time, he can spend $400 to go to the next stage of undress. The $400 is taken from your winnings, but losing money doesn't make her get dressed again (unless you restart).

That way the player has more interesting choices. I've got $500, do I see the next image, drop down to $100, and possibly lose, or do I wait until I'm up to $700 to give me some buffer? Etc.

Nice post tlaero!

I can't say much about the improvements to the automation (I didn't try before they were put in place) but I agree with your game mechanics suggestions.

Andie seems to be a good-looking honey and I'd LIKE to see her in the altogether, but the game play is a bit too simplistic and repetitive to make it worth the pursuit. I'll keep an eye out here to see if there are any further improvements, but I don't think I'll be spending time with Andie befoer those (or SOME) changes are made.

I usually comment only if I have something positive to say, but I've just busted 3 times in a row from 12. Yes, I got 12, chose 'hit' and got a 10. THREE times in a row.
