What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 89 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including HD Poker: Texas Hold'em (free, scores 54) and The Four Kings Casino and Slots (free, scores 21).
It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
It is still busy. 158 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. Steam lists the aggressive monetization types on it: boost and currency.

Prominence Poker scores 56/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/384180/prominence-pokerThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17.
