So you want players to be given a break all the way up until the most lucrative call of the game?
While I do agree with the "meh" of a push, I don't agree with making it a loss at the end If you cut the cards as such where your Ace came up when you've got thousands to bet, that should be your money.

The two possibilities, that you could win something or nothing, gives it all the strategy it needs. The bonus game only detracts from the main game, which is pretty great.

I disliked it when Wink's Tic Tac Dough introduced the red categories. I realize they wanted to spice the game up some but I preferred the front game less spicy, especially when players were able to match wits round by round.

I don’t like the push rule at all. I realize I’m a curmudgeon, but it’s a gambling game. Offering a bet that you can’t lose feels unnatural.
I totally agree on the red categories. On Joker’s Wild, they’d present the strategic option of avoiding them, but not on Tic Tac. If they wanted to spice something up, spice up the bonus round.

The "push rule" is quite literally one of the very few things my wife and I disagree on. I say because it's the same, it *SHOULD* be a push, but my wife (who was at one point a math teacher) says it shouldn't be, because it's neither higher nor lower, which was the bet. I don't agree, but she makes a fair point.

I was gonna say that a casino analogy backing your wife's position would be the "0" on roulette. It's neither red nor black, odd nor even, etc.
But then again a casino analogy backing your position would be Baccarat. When the Player and Banker hands are tied, all bets push.
