Ok, played for like half an hour: - really like the graphics, animations all running smooth. really like the thunder. Good job on this! - overall pace is faster, I like it personally - I really like the level up idea but I think it should be improved. Right now graphics are pretty similar for all levels and you just see different similar avatar with small differences and you can't really tell which one is better just by looking at them. Also, recs should be incentivized to play more and level up. Not by rake but by different graphics and abilities for each level. I suggest more bombastic avatars for each level with some perks like special emoji maybe some throw objects animations like on other sites. Also, as an idea, there should be the ability to customize your avatar if you reach some thresholds, etc. Bottom line: the main idea is very good but it needs a little tweaking. - I understand the anonymous tables thing, fair enough but there at least should be unique nicknames for all users. Main idea is for protecting the players, I get that and I respect it but with multiple instances of the same nick on different table is straight out confusing. Pretty sure I saw two Slobber Knockers on different tables. - Also, I lost 2 buy ins, confirmed unbeatable 😅.

Played a little, two quick notes: - rebuy panel is too heavy on the eyes especially if you have to do it a lot as you do in Banzai. So either add autorebuy option or make it lighter and smaller. - the table started HU despite message saying "when two more players". It started when I opened another table so maybe the counter considers all payers not just players on the same table. Seems a bug to me, I'll try to reproduce.

Yup, there are a lot of unknowns in this new equation and that's why I don't really understand why some guys are so mad before actually giving it a chance. I'm not really playing that consistently but looking at my numbers and taking into account only new rake and table number, I should be slightly better on bad months and a lot better on good ones. But there are also other things to consider and I'll make some more assumptions : - table cap (+) because of more hands vs weak players - greater exposure of game in client (+) obviously - game added to casino brands (++) - anonymous tables (-) big minus here for stronger players. Not really because of recs, because you spot them easy soon enough, but because you can't spot weaker regs who don't change their name. Sometimes there is more money to be made from them than from recreationals - built-in gamification features (+) - new and more casual focused visuals and game mechanics(+) - promotions (++) - new table cap could make this game attractive to more regs from cash games (-) I see a lot more pluses than minuses let's hope I will not bite my tongue. Fingers crossed.

Btw, what is really troubling me is the forced random nicknames, that will be a win rate killer for sure.

My prediction is: - marginal winners will become losers for sure - average winners will remain pretty much the same. Smaller win rate but double the number of hands. - crushers will win even more because of bigger number of hands - recs will be recs😅 I'm sure I have at least two right.

Uhm, so no old Banzai either?

Sweet! How long will this "smallest stake only" thing last? If it will be until the official launch, I don't think it's ideal, it'll kill the hype

Nevermind, didn't reach the "only 5 places" part 😅

Too late? If not, I'm in too.

fair enough Oh, got it now, my bad. But, since we are here, is this a particular reason for not having this ability? I think it would be quite appealing to recs without exposing them too much. My 2c.

Sweeet! That's quite a lot to process, didn't expect so many changes. I like the majority of features but I'm unsure about some: 1) Don't know about random name. What does it add to the current status in which people who want to change it do it and people who don't, don't. I saw a lot of recs and also regs that seem quite attached of their username. Why force it? 2) “Squeeze the ace” - why only an Ace? What value does it bring? There are a lot of contexts in which an Ace doesn't mean anything. I think you should be able to show both cards - people like to show a good bluff now and then, especially recs. Imo, this is a basic feature, that should have been implemented long ago. Other than this, it seems great, I see a lot of potential. Dig the special school section for Banzai, the normal one is not really useful for this type of game. Also, what does Casino Brands Launch Mission mean? Will this game be pushed to casino players? Would be really nice, that's exactly the type we want here 😅 Fingers crossed, guys!

It's better imo

Thanks, I salute raising the table cap. Fingers crossed. Also, Banzai 100, OMG!!

Since it's less than a month to launch, I guess the final details are known. Can you share, please or is it a secret 😅? I'm thinking number of players per table, rake, table limit.

Good luck, man 🙂

You should get it in better next time.

Seems to me that now, every time I log in, I need to navigate again to the game type I play normally while in the previous version the location was saved. Little bit annoying but nothing serious.

Do we have an update on this? ETA maybe? Also, might I suggest, if the player number decreases to 5, to increase the max table limit, maybe to 3?

I think you have to call, you have a lot of his value hands beat, and also a lot of busted draws. Ok, two questions now: 1) in the hand with the queens, why don't you cbet, at least small? 2) in this hand, why don't you shove turn, I mean there are a lot of draws for him and also a lot of cards that will kill your action on the river, if you have him beat.

I still don't think it's a bad call. Can you share your thought process? For me the sizing on the turn was very odd and if you decide to call turn you have to also call river. Anyhow, Q5s, GG

Easy call for me.

Will this rake increase come with some promotions, etc? Looking at my stats that would make it barely beatable for me in an average month. Well, I guess I'll have to also consider the extra bonus points. Hopefully, the improvements will bring in just the type of players we're looking for and keep it profitable. Anyhow, finger crossed!

I like it already and I must say I'm happy that you are investing in this game type since I would have thought it's not the most popular out there.

Loving it. Is it only a design change or a gameplay change also? This combined with the reentry in the dutch market should get this thing going again. Can't wait!

I can't find my words, man... Just stay safe.
