The absolute winning hand of this deal (or sweepstakes) will not change if all players do not fold. The only thing that will change the outcome and winning hand is players folding their cards. Sit with a deck of cards sometime and deal 9 players all face up, fold no hands and deal to the river. See how often all these "rigged" type of occurrences happen dealt from your hand.
Enough nonsense from you guys and give some facts. If your statements are true these facts should be easily attainable.
I am not quite sure what you are saying here, but in a true poker game where the cards are shuffled and random, the winner of the hand can change as the hand progresses through the streets. The likely winning hand will have a statistical percent advantage to winning the hand and will change as the hand progresses through the hand streets and the board dynamic changes, but the final outcome does not come until all cards are dealt. You can argue the player card sequence does not change given no participants leave the game, but this still does not qualify as a clear pre-determined winner.
The part that is lost here, is the fact the winner of the Global Poker sweepstakes contest is pre-determined and the card animation you see is actually just that - an programmed animation of a flop, turn, and river. It is not a random drawing of a poker hand. It can not be, because the winner has already been predetermined. The program has to show an animation to give the pre-determined winner the winning hand.
These sweepstakes programs are highly complex and quite frankly very well done. But that is exactly what this game is - a highly developed sweepstakes game meant to resemble actual poker.
