Bola Tangkas, a seven-card poker machine
No reels at all. You deal, see four cards, draw, and the machine pays by poker hand. Two jokers in the deck are why five of a kind is on the table.
Bola Tangkas is the one card game in the 3Win8 list: a poker machine game best known from Indonesia. On 3Win8 it gets a dark blue table, a pay table across the top and seven card spots in two staggered rows.
The pay table
At a 0.10 bet the table reads: royal flush 50.00, five of a kind 20.00, straight flush 12.00, four of a kind 5.00, full house 0.70, flush 0.50, straight 0.30, three of a kind 0.20, and two pair or an ace pair 0.10. Five of a kind is only possible because two jokers are in the deck and can stand for any card.
On the left sits a second column with fixed amounts of 100, 40, 20 and 10 and small counters beside them. The screens don't explain it, and we won't guess.
Deal and draw
Press DEAL and four cards turn face up. In our shot they're the 2 of hearts, 5 of spades, ace of diamonds and 10 of hearts, with three cards still face down and a red DRAW button next to DEAL. The old page said the machine deals seven cards and you throw two away. After the deal the pay column had tripled, 150.00 for a royal flush down to 0.30 for an ace pair.
The other non-slots on 3Win8 are the monkey race Thunder Bolt and the animal wheel Animal Circus. The 3Win8 overview and the 3Win8 game list cover the rest, and IDs come through the partner page.
