How do they make $20 more if the price is reduced by $27 from last year and the cable taken out? At most they make the $3 more if people buy the 2m cable. For the 1m cable they make less than last year.
The phone plus cable last year adjusted to inflation is $827 and this year it’s $820. The cost of the cable for Apple is not in play here.
The multiplier in game info only applies to the hand played. Otherwise every hand would trigger also high card multipliers. For example flush house would trigger flush house, full house, flush, threes, pair, two pair and high card and that would be broken.
The hand being played is shown on the left under the multipliers.
