Happy Friday, HD Poker players!

We wanted to warm up that poker-playing brain of yours with this nice little quiz, then get you into the game with some free chips.

How many outs do you see pictured above? Tell us in the discussions!

After that, get yourself some free chips! Head to the HD Poker in-game store, click on Enter Code, and use the promo code COUNTINGOUTS.

Have a most fantastic weekend and we’ll see you at the tables!

It’s a tough situation to be in when you’re holding four of a kind deuces. You know you could win easily, but when the cards are laid out like this on the table, you know there might be a chance of eights winning out.

This was the situation HD Poker player SICK was in when they were going up against torherts. Fortunately, when you have two hands as good as that, you both get a little treat in the form of a Bad Beat Jackpot.

When you play enough poker, you know you’ve been in a situation like this. So, tell us, what would you do next with this hand?

Voice your choice in the discussions! Bonus points if you tell us why.

Then, while you’re at it, get some free chips to work with. Stop into the HD Poker in-game store, click Enter Code, and use the code POKERHAND. This code is good to use for 48 hours.

We’re looking forward to reading your strategies!

• True 64bit client support!
  
• Desktop toast notifications are back, alerting you to your turn, table/queue invites, and bonuses.
  
• Name changes will once again accept numerical input. First character is alpha-only
  
• Fixed an issue where switching your deck might not change the asset until after you refreshed

One of the great things we love about HD Poker is how we’re able to take the game out on the open road. Just because we aren’t in the confines of our own home doesn’t mean we can’t get in some good hands at a rest stop.

Can you tell us a nickname for this combination of cards?

You probably don’t need to be familiar with songs like Giddy Up Go to guess, but it has more than one nickname, so there’s room for variety. Tell us in the discussions!

+ dealer position on 9-player tables shifted down so their hands touch the felt
+ Fixed: 9 player tables would send dealer messages as a mix of [Dealer] + [<DealerName>]
+ Fixed: A number of animated themes were not being reported as "Animated" in their preview popups
+ A new system has been put in to place to help alleviate missing game assets when player network speeds are below normal. If a table asset fails to load, an embedded backup will be used as a replacement. This applies towards backgrounds, tables, and chairs.

Click that thumbs up if you could use some complimentary chips on this fine Friday!

It’s as easy as 1-2-FREE. Just head to the HD Poker in-game store, click on Enter Code, and use the promo code ULTIMATECOMP. Hurry though, this bonus is only available for 48 hours.

We hope you have a most wonderful weekend!

+ Viewing an sng/tb final hand replay will no longer award players with "phantom" prizes

+ Added a potential fix to DM crashes (Sorry about this -- we're keeping a close eye on this one!)
+ Featured store items will now be tagged as "UNLIMITED" when there is no purchase limit
+ Clicking an external link.hd.io url should now take you to its intended content even if your game is already running
+ Removed a possible crash condition when viewing another player's tables after clicking "JOIN"
+ "It's Cosmic" achievement made visible (this is more-or-less a fun test. Look for more in the future!)
