MotionX-Poker Quest FAQ
 

Q1. "When I play poker with cards, a full house beats a straight. Why does a straight beat a full house in MotionX-Poker Quest?"

A1. In classic card poker, a full house beats a straight. However in dice poker, a straight beats a full house because with five dice, the probability of getting a straight is lower. After one roll, the probability of a straight is 1 in 32.4 as opposed to 1 in 25.9 for a full house.
Good luck!

 

Q2. "How does the dealer make decisions?"

A2. The dealer makes logical decisions, constantly evaluating the best options for beating your hand. Sometimes the dealer will 'break' a good hand, realizing that the odds for beating you are better that way.

 

Q3. "Will my coins, treasures and unlocked temple be transferred from MotionX-Poker Quest Lite to the full version of MotionX-Poker Quest?"

A3. MotionX-Poker Quest Lite and MotionX-Poker Quest are two separate apps with two separate sets of application data. Due to limitations out of our control, we cannot port over the application data (your score) from one app to another even if it's from a Lite to Full version.

Q9: Is it possible that my iPhone's (or iPod's) accelerometer will be damaged when I shake to roll the dice?

A9: The miniature accelerometers used in the iPhone™ and iPod® Touch are designed for cars, airplanes, and other vehicles and devices that move and shake all the time for many years. In comparison, your phone or iPod® is a sedentary device! So keep on rolling those dice!

 

Q10: I previously downloaded your application and I see there is an update available. How do I upgrade without being charged again?

A10: Apple® keeps track of all purchases and will not charge you twice for the same application. If you use the Buy Now button to upgrade, you will be told the download is free after you enter your iTunes® username and password. However, we recommend you use the standard update method of launching the App Store icon on your iPhone™ or iPod® Touch, select the Update button at the bottom right and find MotionX-Poker Quest in the list. Alternately you can update from iTunes® under Applications, then sync the update to your iPhone™.
