Puzzle mode help
Does anyone know a website with all the solutions to the puzzles?
 
I really dont want to use my bank roll to buy puzzle solutions. I'm trying to save up enough bank roll money to buy all the themes for the acheivement. I have 1.5 million to go.

Re: Puzzle mode help
i dont know of any sites.  it really shouldnt be a problem to get money though.  how much are you scoring each game?

straight flushes are worth 15000
9 flushes are worth 10000
and im pretty sure you can set the speed level really high in action mode which will make challenge hands worth 100-500 thousand points or so.  challenge hands are worth 500,1000 or 1500 points then multiplied by the speed level.  so if you do a three of a kind challenge hand for 500 points at speed level 50, then that nets you 25,000 points.  hope this helps, good luck

Re: Puzzle mode help
Well, I just go straight to action mode and start playing from speed level 1. I usually average around 30,000 each game. The highest flush I've ever gotten was a 6 and it was just one time. I'll try what you suggested by changing the speed level. Hopefully I'll get the 1million in a single game acheivement as well.

I still need the last 5 acheivements that you have as well as the "All hands" achievement. This game is tough for me.

Re: Puzzle mode help
Well, I tried putting the speed level on 100 last night. I was getting around $30,000 every 5 to 10 minutes. So it was MUCH faster, but it was extremely tough for me to do. Pretty much everytime I completed a challenge, I let the cards build up to the top and then repeated the level over again. I went from $33,000 bank roll to $279,000 bank roll in about 45 minutes of playing.

lol, its so fast on speed level 100 that I have to hold the "Slow-motion" button down in order to keep up with it.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Puzzle mode help
also remember that on the higher speed levels you can drop bombs for 3 seconds of stopped action.  when i used to play action mode for high scores, i remember never using bombs just to stop the cards from going up too fast.  so always use that as a last resort.  you get a new bomb for every 18 cards you clear. so they are constantly refilling.

Re: Puzzle mode help
thank you for the help. Playing on speed level 100, I was able to get all the board themes and completed all the puzzle challenges. Now I just gotta figure out how to get a 7x chain and make a 7, 8, 9, and straight flush for the "All Hands" achievement. Theres no way I can get a 24x chain or 1million in a single game.

Re: Puzzle mode help
All hands isn't too hard.  for the higher flushes do this:

XXXXO
XXXXO
XXXXO
XXXXO
XXXOX
XXXXO
XXXXO
XXXXO
XXXXO

O= hearts, X = every other suit.  now just switch the 2 bold cards and you have a 9 flush.  1 less for 8 flush and so on.

7X chain isnt too difficult.  you just need to set up a 3 chain first that will go off with the use of a bomb because a bomb automatically triggers a 2X, so all you would technically be doing is a 6X at that point.  so, if you set up a 3 chain combo that you start with a bomb, then you could really get a 4X with that and have all your slowmo to get the rest of the chain.

24X chain is really hard and unless you want to play the game for hours, i wouldn't even suggest trying to get that achievement.

but 1 million points is not that difficult either.  i actually scored 2.6 million before i even knew how to chain higher than 7X.  you get 15,000 points for straight flushes so in the lower speed levels i would just look to make straight flushes.  you can comfortably do that up till about speed level 30.  from there try to do 9 flushes since they are much easier and they are worth 10,000 points.  and you can do that until speed level 70 or so.  from there just try to survive for the next challenge hands.  do the challenge hands the entire time because they will be your real money maker, but the higher the speed level, the higher the value.  i remember seeing challenge hands worth 300,000 sometimes.  so you can imagine how important those are in the higher levels.  good luck

Re: Puzzle mode help

Using the guide you made above and a youtube video I found, I was able to get a 7, 8, and straight flush, but Im struggling to get the 9 flush because a card always show up underneath the line of same suit cards and ends up getting rid of about half my cards. Either that or I just run out of time and the line of same suit cards goes all the way to the top.

How long did it take you to get the 9 flush?

Re: Puzzle mode help
it only took a few tries to do the 9 flush.  it isn't too difficult.  just keep trying and i am sure you will get it.

Re: Puzzle mode help

Your right..lol. About 3 hours after my last post...I decided to go back and play Poker Smash and guess what..I got the 9 flush first try(took about 40 seconds). Now, I just got the 7x chain to do. I really dont think I want to try the 1million achievement, and I definitely dont want to try the 24x chain achievement. After watching your 15th place video where you had a 74x chain, I got the feeling I might be able to get the 7x chain using some of the strategies in your video.

Thanks for all your help by the way. I really dont think I would have been able to do many of these achievements if you hadnt helped me.
