Jack’s casino dealers are not all prime. But, he gives better odds to get the daily Jackpot by revealing lot more numbers in the sequence in play. That way his Casino is much better than Cryptic Casino. He is sneaky and he wants you to reveal the number behind the sequence also prior to parting with his Jackpot.

To earn the jackpot, you have to find five missing cards of the daily sequence and place them in the right spot.

Today’s sequence deck consists of 42 cards. No kings, queens and jacks. 2 jokers are added to represent the extra cards 3 and 6.

Ace is represented by 1. Suits are...S..spades C..clubs D..Diamonds H..hearts JJ..joker 0...stands for 10.

MM...represents the 5 missing cards yo have to figure out

Cards are arranged in fours. Sequence runs from top left to right and the left to right as you go down the sequence.

Ready..set..go....here is the sequence

S S H S  H M S S  J S H D  S J H H
1 5 5 7  7 M 3 9  J 4 3 7  6 J 8 1

H D D C   M D H D  S H D M  S D C D
9 5 9 7   M 8 4 4  2 2 1 M  0 3 5 6

D C C C   C H C D   M M
2 3 6 1   8 0 4 0   M M

Good Luck...Go for the Jackpot.. Don’t forget to give the sequence number.

Since this problem is tough , I am going to provide hints periodically.

Hint 1:

The code is based on the reciprocal of 49 which contains periodic 42 digits.

Hint 2:

Hint 3:

The missing cards are:

SCHCC
89620

The complete sequence is:

SSHS HSSS JSHD SJHH HDDC CDHD SHDH SDCD DCCC CHCD CC
1557 7839 J437 6J81 9597 9844 2216 0356 2361 8040 20

Explanation:

1/49 is 0.020408163265306122448979591836734693877551... You reverse the periodic sequence and get 155778396437638195979844221603562361804020, which is the order of the card values. The order of the suits is SHDC. Putting them in for each number gives the final card sequence.
