Minted Poker Bug Exposes Mucked Hole Cards Without Showdown

The PokerFuse.com website was reporting on Tuesday that a bug on the Everleaf Network’s biggest online poker room skin, Minted Poker, was exposing mucked hole cards without a showdown

PokerFuse.com reported:

The hand replayer in the browser client of Minted Poker was revealing the hole cards of all players – even of those that folded before showdown.

The issue was originally detected last Thursday.  Players were quick to note it had been fixed by late Friday.

The PokerFuse.com site notes:

Exposing hands folded before showdown is not usually permitted, as it provides too much information on player tendencies.

Minted Poker utilizes a localized flash client that is not offered by all Everleaf online poker skins.  It was not immediately clear as to whether Minted’s issue was isolated to the local flash client or across the board throughout the network.  Likewise, nobody seems to know how long this bug has existed.
