#12 Pattern panel on the screen during gameplay
The gaming experience could be enhanced if a small reference panel could be shown to display all possible winning hands on the screen during gameplay, perhaps in a sidebar or corner panel. This would provide players with instant access to the game's patterns. As an addition, it would be even more helpful if when the player's current cards meet a specific pattern, such as a "Straight" or "Full House," that exact entry on the list could instantly be highlighted, perhaps by changing background or border color, allowing the user to immediately recognize his/her best hand without having to manually check their cards.
P.S. I noticed that there is a list of hands from best to worst at the ‘Help’ page. This list could be used in the gameplay screen as well.
I like that idea, but I have to think through how to do it without taking to much "real estate" of the display - or to make a clutter out of it. Maybe get a hint when you hover your cards?
Yes, I think that hovering on your cards would be a good idea to display all these. Also, just an idea, when you have a certain patern of cards (like "Straights" for example), it would be nice to have it constantly displayed between the your money and the 'Fold' and 'Call' buttons.
P.S. The mockup sent is just for illustrative purposes. It is not necessary to have it implemented exactly like that.
