Are the Poker Night games rigged?
I've played poker in real life and I've played Poker Night at the Inventory (but not Poker Night 2).
I have the feeling that the Poker Night engine manipulates the deck to give players a more interesting game experience. I'll come right out and admit that I base this entirely on subjective evidence, but it seems like when I'm betting big and hoping for a miracle to come along on the last card, I'm more likely to get it in Poker Night than I am to get it with a real deck of cards.
Is this just luck or do the Poker Night games cheat to make things more dramatic?
Question from user Steve V. at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Poker Night and Poker Night 2 are not rigged.
Jake Rodkin of Telltale Games said:.
It's not cheating. The game has no motivation to cheat! Why would we.
write cheating code into a game which is only fun when it's authentic?
There's no money on the line, only unlocks which we want you to have.
No cheating, I promise.
Mike Stemmie of Telltale Games also said:.
Speaking as someone who waded through much more of the poker code than.
our lead programmer was probably comfortable with, I can say this with.
a nigh-absolute degree of certainty: The amount of extra work that.
would be required to make the the game cheat (even a little bit).
would've prohibitively annoying.
And like Jake said, cheating would gain us nothing.
