Hi ydigwihsisjs4614! Thanks for the comment! We are glad you liked it. Write back any time, we love to hear from you!

Hi grizzo9976! Our progressive chart is slightly modified, paying 10:1 on flopped trips. but the professor is betting $5 on the progressive, giving him a payout of $50. Thanks for your comment! We appreciate it.

@@IcicleCasino ahh, the one I used to play was only 1 on the progressive with no option to increase

Hi Grizzo9976! Yes, it's rare, but recently a few of the casinos around us moved to a $5 progressive. I guess they REALLY don't think anyone will ever hit the big one, lol!

I am not sure why this came thru twice, but hopefully it was that you enjoyed it twice as much?? We appreciate your feedback!

Thank you for the comment! This is a fun game to play and also very entertaining to watch. We appreciate your feedback!

Hey Nolan! Good to hear from you again! We tried this a couple of ways where you didn't always win when you got the joker, but we found that for pure fun and enjoyment, nothing beat seeing a Joker and knowing you won the hand. We are working on this game as a community so we value your feedback. We will experiment some more. Thanks again for watching!

Interesting! We hadn't heard them called quads before, but I guess it could work. I think like hockey sticks for 7's they call them that because of their shape. Thanks for the comment!

There must be some hockey fans associated with UTH, 2 of them (7's and 9's) reference their game!

@@TheEPIChino Did the Jacks surprise ya? Imagine having to explain it to your mom. 😂

Hi Staataylor, thanks for your comment. Yes, this is a home game. We found a real Texas Holdem table and started a CZcams channel with it. We do hear a lot of complaints about the type of chips and are looking into an upgrade. In the meantime, we just love to play and watch these types of games. Thanks again for the comment, we appreciate it.

Yeah, we haven't ever seen it before either! It's just something we can do because we're not a real casino. Like the Professor said, we just had to talk it over with the pit boss and it was okay to go! Thanks for your comment!

Yeah! For some reason it's rare to get a good win on Down Under Blackjack. That's surprising to us every time because the player gets so much more info than usual. It is really fun to play! Thanks for your comment - we appreciate you!

Thanks for the comment! Technically these are Target chips, but we get what you are saying. So, fake chips for a fake casino, but our table, our cards and our love for the game are all authentic. We play these games because we like them and have hit a little market where others like it too. Sorry if it's not for you, but we do appreciate hearing from you.

Hi Jimmyt, thanks for your comment. We are a fake casino, but we don't really think of it as click bait because we announce it at the start of every video. We always play real odds unless we are celebrating some of the things we can do that a real casino can't do. We know it's not for everyone, but we just love to play the games and are making the videos for others who enjoy them too. Sorry it isn't you, but thanks again for taking time to comment.

We agree! This has to be one of the best perks of being a fake casino. We can take a shot at answering perpetual questions like this - does it affect me if someone is playing blackjack "wrong". We hope to do at least one more episode, just for more mathematical info on the question. Thanks for watching!!!

Same to you! It was a nice Monday here and now it's already the 4th of July! Time flies when you are having fun making CZcams vids! Hope everything is going well with you!

Thank you so much! We love this game too - especially with the side bets. It's streaky by nature and It can go really, really good which is super fun to play! Thanks for the comment - hope to hear from you again!

Hi William Fung, wow, we were so focused on the royal flush on board that we missed what would have happened if we hadn't flipped the king! What fun! Thanks for noticing and commenting!

@@IcicleCasino But just imagine what would’ve happened if the dealer instead had 8, 9 of diamonds! You would have been like imagine in poker she shows a Queen high straight flush, we are dead in the water!!! And the suddenly the king of diamonds one outer HITS and that would have been the ULTIMATE COOLER!!! Since the dealers straight flush is counterfeited!!!

How would you react if the dealer turns over 8,9 of diamonds before revealing the final card! And the one final card was the one outer to chop the KING OF DIAMONDS? Because I have NEVER SEEN A STRAIGHT FLUSH GETTING COUNTERFEITED!!!

@@williamfunggoldenoldiesfan6758 We have never seen that either, William! That is really the definition of "from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat", lol.

@@IcicleCasino actually it’s the opposite for you it’s the agony of defeat to the thrill of victory! Because it’s the DEALER that suffered the bad beat, not you!!!

Hi Don, thanks for your comment. Yes, we are a fake casino - just two people who were lucky enough to find a real UTH table and have fun playing on it. We announce it at the start of every video, (we say "welcome to the Icicle Casino where the casino is fake, but the odds are real"...) but I see you caught one of our shorts. We know this type of gaming experience isn't for everyone, but some viewers enjoy it. We really will have to do something about our chips, though, because we are trying to give our viewers the best casino-like experience possible. Thanks again for your comment.

Hi ccbusa05, we are sorry you feel that way. We are two people who were lucky enough to find our own Ultimate Texas Holdem table. We announce that we are a fake casino at the start of each video. We love to play these casino games and I guess it shows, even in how we deal it. We know it isn't for everybody, but thanks for your comment.

Hi Maryay, Yes, we are a fake casino - we are two people who were lucky enough to find our own Ultimate Texas Holdem table. .We love these casino games to much that we decided to play on CZcams and see if anyone else enjoyed watching. We announce that we are a fake casino at the start of each video. We do play real odds though, - the cards are shuffled before each session, and Mom hand shuffles them before dealing. Thanks for your comment.

We got new chips with our casino name on them! That should help with how it looks. We film a little bit ahead, but you should see them in a couple of weeks.

Hi Grafbuzz, yes, we are a fake casino. Thanks for noticing the chips - that's one of the things people notice the most. We might invest in some chips with our names on them someday, just to make the experience feel a little more authentic to our viewers. But we love these casino games so much, that for now we just play them as often as possible. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Same to you! Hope you had a nice high rolling Monday too!

Hi Carla, that is correct! We were lucky enough to find a real Ultimate Texas Holdem table. We had so much fun playing on it, we started a CZcams channel so other people who enjoy watching these casino type games could join in the fun! We announce at the start of each video that we are a fake casino, but we try to play real odds, so the games feel as real as possible. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That is the plan! We plan to do this same thing 2 or 3 more times, then present a total difference between money with the Newbie, and money with the chart. Thanks for your comment! We love this too!

Yes! In the non-short version, we actually play about 8 or 9 minutes with the "newbie" never hitting above a 12, then another 9 minutes with the Newbie on the chart. The results are amazing! Hope you like that too!

Actually it was only 5 Walmart chips, lol. We might be a fake casino but the table is real, the odds are real and our love of the game is real so that was still a pretty bad beat!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi Joshua K, this paid exactly $500 for the trips bet. Unfortunately in Ultimate Texas Holdem, both the players and the dealer share the cards on the board. Since a Royal Flush is the highest hand possible, neither the professor nor the dealer had anything that could beat it. So it was big old push on everything except the trips bet! Note to everyone - you don't want a Royal Flush on the board in UTH!!

Thank you! We hope the fan base builds up for this, because it is so much fun to play!

I guess winning $500 on a $10 trips bet is still considered good luck. But we will tell you for sure.... it sure didn't feel that way, lol!

We are so excited about it too! It's not actually a new game, it's just a three handed blackjack experiment where we really put the chart to the test. It is wildly fun, super entertaining. We think your subs might like it too?

Thanks! We like our pit boss in training too! It's fun to have a pet that is a tiny part of the channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

We really love it. If you are going to be on a hot streak, you actually win more every time. Then when the streak ends you lose mainly house money. The professor wishes he knew about it years ago - he thinks it would have really increased his lifetime earnings at the tables! Thanks for watching!!!

Hey, thanks for noticing that! It's not a new camera but we found new quality settings on the old one. Also, we are getting better with lighting and switched to slightly bigger, brighter cards. We think all of those things have made a change for the better, but yours is the first comment about it. Thanks so much! We appreciate you!

Mom loves it too! That's why the professor was dealing this one (also because it came out on April Fool's Day!) We are glad you like it so much. Thanks for watching!

Yes, and as you know, Mom thinks your luck is your luck all day! But the professor played through it and proved her wrong (at least this time, lol)!

Sounds like it might have amused you a little, based on the number of ha-ha's in your text, lol! But seriously, we know a fake casino is not for everyone. We hope to entertain the crowd who like to play casino games on their pc's, or who might like a little bit lighter mood at the tables. We hope you find something you like too. Thanks for the comment.

@@IcicleCasino the number of haha was because I just came home from the nervous hospital. I give props then on targeting your intended audience. I did not know that was a “thing”. My assumption was that a “CZcamsr” was trying to sneak a fast one in us. Carry on. Best of luck.

Fake chips from a fake casino, we don't try to hide or conceal what we are doing here. But here, the odds are real! We are just trying to deliver fun content from the game we all love and enjoy. Not too many casinos deliver this bad beat variant, so we decided since we are flexible, we would give it a go.

Yes, we were very fortunate to get the table (somehow-even we don't understand how it happened). We wanted to be very upfront and transparent about being a fake casino, and this is what gives us the flexibility to add Bad Beat to UTH, or play Triple Shot and Down Under Blackjack, etc. We want to give our viewers content and table games they would not normally see.

That's true! We have had some really good sessions with this game. Of course, like all games of chance (lol) it can also turn around pretty fast! Thanks for commenting, we always enjoy your input!

Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah the cards didn't exactly fall my way today, but there's still no more fun way to earn $5, right?

@@IcicleCasino The side bets definitely make it more fun to play as you go Keep them coming your sessions are awesome

@@blackjackandmore6774 Thanks, we appreciate that! We love the side bets too.

Hey Nolan, thanks for the heads up! We literally had no idea we had swapped them. We will look into how we can fix it on our table. LOVE the idea for joker down under! We haven't played that yet, but we will work on the rules for the difference in jokers. Maybe blue backed jokers will be wild from 2-5, red from 6-9 and gold wild for anything. Thanks again for the idea and catching our mistake.

Hey Nolan, we got the sides switched for Down Under. Now the low is blue and the medium is red. We had filmed a few ahead, but the one scheduled for this Thursday (5/16) has it right, if you want to check it out. Thanks again for your input on this!

You’re welcome. Glad I could help.

Greetings back! Nice to hear from you again. What do you think of the new game? Have you seen it before?

Hi Jodabee23! Nice! You sound really lucky!. Thanks for the comment. We haven't played the progressive because we basically didn't think about it. This flopped magic video was the first time we saw something that would have paid the progressive. We like to listen to our comments though and will try it out on one of our Friday games (where we aren't using the space for bad beat). We film a couple of weeks ahead, but watch for it, it should show up soon. Thanks again for watching!

Hi Jodabee23! We added the progressive bet to our UTH games - the first one airs this Wednesday as a bonus reel at 3:00 pm. Thanks for the idea! Side bets make everything more exciting!

Hi Kikim, we are not a real casino and we say that at the start of every video. We are two people who were lucky enough to find a real poker table, and we loved playing on it so much we decided to post it to CZcams and see if anyone else enjoyed it. The games we play are super fun, and we do get a lot of views and good feedback. Thanks for your comment, I hope this explains what we are doing.

Hi there! Did you get interrupted or just decide not to finish your post?? In case you are new, we are a fake casino, two people who lucked into a real UTH table and love it! Please feel free to comment again if this does not answer your question. Thanks for watching!

Yes it does! We realized right away that we couldn't reshuffle in between hands when we only got 10 hands in our first 30 minute test vid, lol! Pre-shuffling makes our fake casino play a lot more real. Thanks for noticing and commenting. We appreciate you.

It is a really fun game! I'm glad you like to play along. The chart we use is on Wizard of Odds where we actually found the game. It has three different charts for players hand versus dealer high, medium and low. It's really informative and a little bit different than the regular 6 shoe chart we use for the other one. Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate it.

Hey thanks for the suggestion! We were already thinking about doing this again because it was just so interesting and fun. We will definitely take your suggestion on more decks, and will look up California no bust blackjack to see what that is all about, because that sounds like fun too! Thanks again for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!!
