No, he played a *regular* king of hearts, which kind of makes this funnier. Dan walks into a casino, plays a king of hearts, while holding 73 shiny illegal kings of hearts, a picture of a baron, the schematics of the baron, a picture of a mime, the schematics of the mime, and a drawing of a left-handed joker on a worn out napkin. The dealer gives him literally infinite chips. He cashes out for 15 bucks.
This is why I never leave home without 73 shiny illegal kings of hearts, a picture of the baron, schematics of the baron, a picture of a mime, the schematics of a mime, and a drawing of a left-handed joker on a worn out napkin. One of these days I'm going to get fifteen dollars.
I love the implication made that this is at a casino, he scored infinity using dark magic with someone whispering in his ear, and the casino only gave him $15
@@debesys6306 oh yeah i forgot that if this was real it wouldnt be about getting the biggest score, itd be about making the most money lol. Whats the most money you can make in a balatro run?

@@Sir_Bucket And that the Spiffing Brit is the one who puts RT down this path in the first place. Maybe in order to ascent Daniel to his own level of existence so they can be together. But then Daniel gathers followers, each of whom add to his power. Until a handful of catalytic individuals join the group and propel Daniel to levels of existence and divinity that far surpass even the Spiffing Brit. Wow, this fanfic practically writes itself.
Guy walks into a casino with a stamped King card, burns some random occult-like cards and 70 exact copies of the King fall out his sleeve, places down some weird knockoff joker cards above them that he carefully arranges into a particular order, plays the most illegal deck ever created and proceeds to not only bankrupt the entire planet, sending it into a debt to him personally that will never be fully repaid, but also breaks the very concept of Numbers itself. Casino awards him with enough money to buy a couple of McDonalds meals.
We knew the run would not be the same. A few chatters laughed. A few chatters cried. Most chatters were silent. I remembered the line from the Discord scripture, the RTGame Seed. Bhavya is trying to persuade the Drift King that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-Cryptid form and says, “Now, I am become Baron, the multer of mults.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
I don’t even think it’s ridiculously broken. I think it’s just one of the ones that people have been beating into submission the hardest, if i had to bet you could probably go infinite in most seeds
For those wondering - NaN means 'not a number'. e denotes scientific notation. and inf is infinity. So that reads as: Not a Number times 10 to the infinite power.
Can’t wait for the next stream where RT manages to single-handedly create the Singularity and ascends to a higher plane of existence by playing a mathematically-impossible hand of poker
Firstly,in mathematics the word "'singularity" is used to describe a situation when a math object is undescribable.RTGame've reached a number so high that Balatro refused to process it's value or made it for the game undescribable. Secondly,there's no chance in normal Poker that you could pull of a hand worth of 10^310(as far as I can tell, it's Balatro's score cap). That means RTGame have basically already done it
What boggles me is that I don't think it can be done manually 😂 I don't participate in the discord but to narrow down the probability such that the path it totally determined for the first few hands I think you have to run some kind of program and I can't even fathom what that entails 😂
@@fraziercrawford If you can do the probabilistic calculations by hand, it sure would be manual. But that would be HELL to do, compared to just making a simple program that can do it for you. The sheer power that programming gave us is insane and we have to appreciate it
@fraziercrawford it doesn't really take much bro think about the program kinda like playing with a deck partly face up and as you change different things you can see how that deck changes in real time
I ran some calculations to see the actual final score... Steel Kings with Red Seal: 67 Steel Kings (No Seal): 3 Other Kings: 3 Base score is 25 X 3 for a high card, playing a King is +10 chips. There are 3 Baron activations + 2 Mime activations per card. Each King in hand is *1.5^3 per activation, *1.5^4 if Steel. Each King in hand activates 3 times, 4 if it has a Red Seal. Each Basic King is *1.5^(3*3), so *1.5^(3*3*3) total for 3 cards. Each Non-Seal Steel King is *1.5^(4*3), so *1.5^(4*3*3) total for 3 cards. Each Red Seal Steel King is *1.5^(4*4), so *1.5^(4*4*67) total for 67 cards. Thus, the total mult is... 3 * 1.5^27 * 1.5^36 * 1.5^1072 = 3 * 1.5^1145 So, the score before plasma is now (35) X (3*1.5^1145). With plasma, the total score is then... ((35 + 3*1.5^1145)/2) X ((35 + 3*1.5^1145)/2) = ((35 + 3*1.5^1145)^2) / 4 = (35^2 + 2*35*3*1.5^1145 + (3*1.5^1145)^2) / 4 = (1225 + 210*1.5^1145 + 9*1.5^2290) / 4 Roughly... 3.992e403. Well played.
That's way larger than the 64 bit upper bounds of 1.8e19, but since Balatro could show an e24 value that implies that the game might be using at least a 128 or even 256 bit variable to store the score. I think it's probably using, at most, 2^1024 bits to store the score. That'll put it at around 1.8e308.
@@bulletflight No, they're almost certainly just using a double. You're right that it'd go up to e308, but it definitely would not take 1024 bits, just the usual 64.
RTGame proving to everyone once again that he has the strongest seed known to man 💪 Although the game couldn’t register the exact score, I calculated after using a Balatro calculator that the score RT got to reach infinity was *2.7824e394.* However, it doesn’t stop there. Since RT could still win any round until past the Ante 16 boss, if he generated more Cryptids, he would have 177 Kings in hand meaning that the maximum score for the RTGame seed is *2.9931e980.*
He went from “broken” to “almost a googol” to “(NOT A NUMBER) with (INFINITY) zeros”. I want you all to let this sink in: RTGame just achieved a number that should not be possible in any way by using his name. And all he got in return was $15.
This run was done on the 1.0 patch based on the fact "Mail-in Rebate" is only worth $3 per discard instead of $5. It would be interesting to see if the RTGAME seed would be better or worse on the current patch.
These runs really feel like Dan's performing arcane rituals to the old gods, then using the phenomenal cosmic power granted by them, builds a fucking particle accelerator for virtual poker chips.
25:41 Personally, I think was actually appropriate music, _the_ most appropriate music. EDIT: 32:58 The moment you laid that out on the table, I watched the rest of this video in stunned, mortified silence, just thought I should let you know.
If I had a nickel for every time i have sat up in my bed in gobsmacked silent awe over RTGame playing an outlandish hand in Balatro, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its weird its happened twice. Glad I'm not the only one
Balatro, the joker god of gambling, patron of casinos lies dead. Over his corpse stands a magician, who with his horde of conjured cryptids and assistance from the professors of discord, slew the god with an infinity crafted from countless kings.
34:52 The chips number watching his neighbor Mult steadily ever erratically stretching, phasing, transcending, and shrinking at the will of something only No-One could know: This is Fine.
The multiplier numbers slowly getting visually bigger and going out of control amplifies the intensity so much. I just imagine a tornado slowly forming in the casino
Goes in the casino. Plays a single card. Somehow scores more than any computer can handle. Cashes out. Doesn't explain. Leaves the casino. Ladies and gentlemen: The average day of RTGame.
not to be pedantic nerd but he hasn't "somehow scored more than any computer can handle" because a computer can handle wayyyy more even 1GB of data (which is considered small storage space) can handle 2 raised to 8 billion as a number. balatro probably uses the float datatype to calculate the values and the game probably reached its integer limit (you can go past the integer limit by making a special datatype but the programmer probably thought it be a better idea to show infinite past a certain number instead)
@@kamperemu Yeah, roughly around e308 is the limit for a 64-bit float. It pops up regularly in idle games, which is the only other context in which I've seen numbers even remotely as absurd as this. (Most idle games get around this in some manner or another if they go that high, but in particular I believe representing numbers as separate base and exponent values is a common solution, as it'll let you functionally get up to 10^10^308, roughly.)
The crazy thing is that this no longer works as of 1.0.1f, the most recent Balatro patch, since Stuntman is now Rare. I choose to believe that Dan knows this, and specifically chose to time travel to achieve infinity
"Draw your last pathetic card, RTugi!" "My seed's deck has no pathetic cards, but it does have this Basic King of Hearts! ...and about 70 Red Seal Steel Kings."
RTGame showing that he has the strongest seed known to man, none could compete with him when he has asked around proving that RTGame is the strongest human to ever live
Fun fact, the tornado thing you get when scoring so high can actually be glitched to disappear if you score even higher. Also, the glitched red and blue squares remain taller than they should be no matter what (I learned this from experience).
I think the baron increases effectiveness of kings while the kings give a passive 1.5x multiplier while in the hand and then the blueprints duplicate the ability of other jokers or something so then it kinda triggers the passive king sequence another time?? No idea what they do either but it seems really cool
Same. I have no idea how to play or any idea on understanding poker. It might as well be spoken in Italian but I can understand roughly what's happening based on tone.
@@apollo4294 Baron makes it so each king in hand gives 1.5x. Mime re-triggers every effect that triggers in the hand. Perkeo copies a consumable. Blueprint copies the effect of the joker immediately to the right of it. Brainstorm copies the ability of the joker furthest to the left.
The math is as follows. You start with 3. That's how much the High Card is worth at first. Then you take a Red Seal Steel King. Steel multiplies the score by 1.5x, and because of the Baron, being a King does as well. The Red Seal means it is scored an additional time, so each of those happens twice. Then you take the Jokers. Each Baron causes each King to be worth another 1.5x each time it's scored, and the Mime scores each King an additional time. In the final arrangement of jokers, there are 3 Barons and 2 Mimes. As a result, each individual Red Seal Steel King does the following: - x1.5 (Steel) - x1.5 (Baron 1) - x1.5 (Baron 2) - x1.5 (Baron 3) - Repeat all the multipliers (Red Seal) - Repeat all the multipliers (Mime 1) - Repeat all the multipliers (Mime 2) This means that each Red Seal Steel King multiplies the score by 1.5, sixteen times. Now we apply the Cryptids. Each Cryptid creates 2 additional Red Seal Steel Kings. With 33 Cryptids, that's 66 Kings. Add the one that was there to begin with and that's 67. With 67 Red Seal Steel Kings triggering 16 times each, that starting score of 3 is multiplied by 1.5 a total of 1072 times (not accounting for the other seven Kings because i don't feel like it). That's a score of 3 x 1.5^1072 in the final hand. If you plug that into your calculator, it will get very upset and start screaming "e" at you, 189 times to be precise. However, there's one more factor to account for, which is the Plasma Deck. The Plasma Deck takes the multiplier and the chips and averages them out. Since the chips are statistically insignificant, this means the score is divided by two, and then multiplied by itself. When a calculator is screaming "e" at you, "itself" is a lot more than 2. This makes it start screaming "e" a lot louder, 377 times now. This is not ACTUALLY infinity. There is a point when it stops. However, Balatro is incapable of registering numbers higher than 308 "e"s, so when the calculator starts screaming louder than that, Balatro gives up and just says it's infinity.
RT: *conjuring the power of infinite kings and a numbernado to break the limit of countable infinity* The 35 chips before balance: "I am doing my part!"
35:36 the way the card shuffles, the joker jumps around and the number rapidly scrolling into a torrent seems eerily like being in the control room of the chernobyl nuclear powerplant while the reactor core was going super critical
I just watched the previous RTGame seed run so I just heard Dan say "I'm never going to do this again in my life" and then immediately it recommended this video posted an hour ago.
The funny part is, the game can *also* hit infinity. If you manage to get to Ante 39(I think?), the game itself asks that you get infinite score. Even with enough setup, infinity doesn’t beat infinity, so the game ends there. With this setup, it wouldn’t be that hard to get to either, it would just take a long time and a bit of careful planning with Cryptid usage. Thank you for the great vid as always, Dan!
What's absolutely incredible about this is how the game just gives up. The final score "naneinf" is the game displaying NaN (Not a Number) multiplied by 10 to the power of Infinity. Literally meaningless, utterly broken. Just "you win, go away". Amazing.
You know what really impresses me about this? The game doesn't crash. Seriously, I don't think it was ever designed with the intent to accommodate a hand this large, or calculate numbers this high. And yet, when someone figures out this insane process that would break most other video games, the code just shrugs and says, "yeah. All right."
I did the math (or rather desmos did), and each king trigger with two barons gives a 2.25 times multiplier. Each king triggers three times each plus an additional trigger with the red seal. This leads to a total of 219 separate triggers. If I ran the numbers correctly, this gives 1.34e77. Then, you divide that by two then square it because of the plasma deck. this leaves you with 4.5e153 chips. For those who don't know, an e means that you multiply the number by ten to the power of the number after the e. To put this into perspective, there are somewhere from e78 to e82 atoms in the known universe. Imagine if each atom in our universe had an entire duplicate of our universe of its own. If you had two more kings (so one more turn because of the cryptid cards), and if you took the total number of all of the atoms in the duplicates, they would be around the same number (If the number of atoms was e80 (which is halfway between the estimates), the original number would even be a hundred times as many). TL;DR: Number is big
See, I initially thought that the deed was done when the score was *4.495 SEPTILLION* per round. A ludicrous number, to be sure. I had assumed that *this* is what was being referred to as an "infinite" score. What a fool I was. I became aware of my naiveté the moment the cryptids made their presence known; I could only bask in the majesty sight unfolding before me. A mix of wonder, awe, and nigh disbelief. Truly, "scoring infinity" was not hyperbole. For all intents and purposes - and certainly, according to the game - the infinite was achieved. Simply superb.
