Troy_Whelan Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I was playing the game Casino for the Atari 2600, and I checked the instruction manual for scoring with game 4. I cannot find anyway possible to generate the score they indicate. Is this a typo? The highest score I can calculate is 3,220 with only 1 straight. I do not see how the 2nd straight is possible. Thoughts? Instruction page with scoring: http://www.atariage.com/manual_page.html?S...=11&maxPages=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Someone should pick this game and variation for the High Score Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 What is the layout of the maximum score? I'm to lazy to think it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to put it down on paper for you, and I am back to 3,220 as the max! I find no way to generate the max score as stated in the instructions. I don't know what I was thinking on the ride home...must have been cheating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalH Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 This is weird. On the cable system here, we have some interactive games available. One of these games is called "Deal With It", and is basically Poker Solitaire. The only difference is, a royal flush is worth 450 instead of 500, there are two "discard" slots, and there is one card per matrix that is treated as a "double" card that doubles the value of all hands that use that card. This version of the game tracks the high score for the nation, and for the city that you're in. Guess what the national high score is? 3340.

The rest should be obvious. Edited June 22, 2005 by supercat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
