Three Card Poker Modified Deck Combinations

Let r = number of ranks

Let s = number of suits

Straight flush s*(r-1)

Three of a kind r*combin(s,3)

Straight (r-1)*(s^3-s)

Flush 4*(combin(r,3)-(r-1))

Pair r*(r-1)*combin(s,2)*s

Nothing (combin(r,3)-(r-1))*(s^3-s)

War Modified Deck Probabilities

Let r = number of ranks

Let s = number of suits

Let d = number of decks

Probability of initial tie = r*combin(d*s,2)/combin(d*r*s,2)

Probability of tie given initial tie = ((r-1)*combin(d*s,2)+combin(d*s-2,2))/combin(d*r*s-2,2)

 

Probabilities in Bingo

Probability of a blackout within x calls = combin(51,x-24)/combin(75,x)

Probability of four corners within x calls = combin(71,x-4)/combin(75,x)

Probability of an X with x calls = combin(67,x-8)/combin(75,x)

Probability of making a specific figure with y marks (not including free square) within x calls = combin(75-y,x-y)/combin(75,x)
