what are the chances of getting a gold blackjack in how many games i think i have played over 10,000 games trying to get the jackpot
Oooh. The problem with game math is that you have to know all the numbers involved. I assume that the distribution on card games are random (Pogo has no reason to have them otherwise). When it gets to JP distribution, the only one that knows the odds of getting a gold Ace or Jack is Pogo.... I don't think they're telling.
From other investigations I've found that the odds of getting a JP are in the tens of millions of events to one. My guess would be that the odds in Buckaroo Blackjack are approximately the same.
Sorry. Probably not the answer you wanted...
From my own play, I estimate the gold jack comes out about 1 in every 200 hands BUT, it doesn't always land in your own hand. I've played close to 22,000 hands of buckaroo blackjack, and have yet to see a gold ace.... So, that kind of shows you what the odds of THAT card coming out are, and THEN you have to get it in your own hand.
To get them in your hand at the same time, the odds would be EXTREMELY high. Even if we assume that the gold ace frequency is 1:22000 (and remember I STILL haven't gotten one in that amount of play), that would put the odds of getting the jackpot at over 1 in 17 million.... And, I suspect it would probably be higher.... So, expect to put in quite a bit of play if you're expecting to hit that jackpot! lol
gold jack = 1 in approx every 200 hands
gold ace = none in 22,000 hands (and still counting...)
gold jacks are infrequent, but THAT'S what you needed for the badge... good thing it wasn't the gold ace you needed!
I would never argue with bobbys observations. I've never talked to anyone who has seen a gold ace. Thus I can't compute odds.
Has anyone ever seen a gold ace?
Once. I saw it for the weekly challenge they had a while back. Havent gotten another since that time.
I've gotten the Gold Ace once and didn't even win the hand. Other times the dealer is holding the gold card, which is very frustrating. It is more likely that you'll get a Silver Jack and a Gold Card for mega tokens, but I wouldn't even know the odds of getting both gold cards in the same deck. Even then, you have to get them both dealt in one hand to win.
I haven't played much of blackjack, but I've gotten 2 Silver Jacks in one deck before, it may or may not be possible to get all 4 jacks replaced by Silvers - making the odds even worse.
When is this game going to be gone for good? Anyone know?

that game is bunk. I better get my 2 badges I have left before they dump it.
Pogo thank you for dumping one of your dumbest games ever.
(Pogo just for future reference, don't try and remake a game that has been around forever. Hire people with an imagination to make a fresh game)

It is but don't tell anyone. :)) I don't want everyone to panic at the same time.
It took me 3 hours and almost 500 hands to get the gold jack today. Luckily it was not in the dealers hand. I would have switched rooms and started over. :)))

That sucker's hard to get. Well just look at this way, you don't ever have to do it again. ;::
still have to get mine.my gf played for over fours for me and didnt get it yet.
ive only been playing for like a total of like 20 minutes and im already at 22/50 on the blackjack one and im still hearing ppl coming in and getting the gold J first 2 hands, hopefully i get that lucky when i decide to do it next week or the week after
From memory the gold J took me about an hour or so to get :) Thankfully I only have 2 of those badges to get, they're both from the 2004 book. I was in there last night and if any game needed some sort of update or makeover or scrapping altogether it is this one, gawd it's lame ::)
are they getting rid of buckaroo blackjack? :o

Nevermind, I just checked my badge albums and I have all my badges in that game for all of my accounts so doing away with that game is fine with me. I'm still curious though, has anyone heard
if the game is definitely history? :-\
Yes it's going. Pogo are giving everyone 4 weeks to get the 4 weekly badges they originally released for this game. The badges seem to be going along with the game :)
Got this from the pogo news thingy....
For those badge collectors who have not yet earned the Buckaroo Blackjack badges, don't worry! There is still plenty of time to earn all four of them, but you will need to start activating them as your personal challenges starting next week. You will have about one more month to enjoy Buckaroo Blackjack.
Once we've retired the Buckaroo Blackjack game, these badges will no longer be available to earn, but will still exist within your badge books under Special Edition Badges. Please note-- if you do not receive the challenge badges for Buckaroo Blackjack, but get every other badge for the year, your Badge Book for the year will be considered complete and you will receive the Album Badge for that year.
While my hubby :))) was getting his silver jack in like no time maybe an hour and in that time he got 2 gold jacks :ooo I bet when I go to do that badge I won't even come close to it.

got the gold jack from advice in 1 the rooms, bet 1 then keep hitting until you bust, keep doing this and the gold jack will come up. Took me about 10 minutes after I was told that and about 20 minutes for my daughter badge. You don't have win the hand either just get the gold jack. Hope this helps.
I did that and it still took well over 45 minutes. :xx
if i had to get the badge myself i woulda been maddddddd.

ya i think they should but the cheat will get it for you in no time did for me
If ever there was a badge that made you want to use an auto, it was the gold jack badge. I don't use the cheat programs, but I was sorely tempted. Definitely keep taking cards until you bust. I finally got mine, but it took quite a while. It's a good strategy for the silver jack badge too. You don't have to win the hand to get credit for the jack. Stupid game. Bye bye Bucky and take Dottie with you.
