Crazy night tonight started vulturing and hit max bet by accident and got dealt 4 sixes on triple hand and then just rolled from there on ten time point night.


I realize your OP was about 3 years ago, but I only came across your "Ultimate x - Jackpot pics - Let's Add Some!" thread today, 4 Mar 2017. Prior to my Oct 2016 trip to Las Vegas, a fellow poster (thanks, Dieter) recommended I try UTX when I take a break from playing BJ. I usually play Deuces Are Wild single play, max bet for $0.25, so the transition to trying UTX was fairly smooth.

It sure encouraged me to play more when I got this after just a few hands; it's not as great as some of the other pix, but OK for me as a first-timer!

Can you - or anyone - confirm if "vulturing" is nothing more than keeping your eyes peeled for abandoned multipliers on the machine in front of you (or to your left or right)? One poster said a good time to "hunt" is early Monday morning after the Sunday crowd has gone to bed.

That's exactly right... And you want to play only 5 coins, instead of the "max 10." You're looking to play the free multipliers (which double or more the pay table). When someone says "hunt" they mean go specifically check all of the machines and all of the ultimate X games (diff games and betting levels) searching for abandoned multipliers.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Thanks for the tip! Our flight comes in at 10:45pm Sun night, so after we settle in, I'll go "hunting".

First time hunting? Good luck with that, the plays are few and far between(VERY BORING), especially with the 100 other guys out there looking.

Don't get confused when you see a bunch of multipliers and start jamming in money thinking you found the mother load. IT MUST SAY NEXT HAND.

AW - I did not realize the screen should say "Next Hand"! Thanks for the tip! :-)

Thanks for the tip, Romes - I did not realize one should play ONLY 5 COINS vs the usual max of 10.

AxelWolf (post further down) also reminded me the screen should say NEXT HAND.

WRT "vulture", maybe I'll just be an "Eagle" and not actively scavenge from machine to machine. I'll just put on my laser eyes and scan the machines as I walk to my target, plus check the machine in front of me and to either side or behind me.

Yeah, when I go to Vegas, I definitely don't go out of my way to look. Probably the worst market for vulturing that I've seen.

IBYA - 1 pix = 1.000 words

Thanks for you 2,000 words!

So if I "happened" upon the "vulturable" pix, I would proceed to play with only 5 coins, not the usual max 10. Hopefully, all 5 unused multiplier lines will yield some positive results!

I've been wracking my brains to remember "Now, what did "NEXT HAND" look like on my last trip Oct 2016?

Thanks a bunch! That was extra thoughtful of you. Hope to return a favor to you or someone else in future.

Yes. Only bet 5 credits. You must also play all hands in order to bet 5 credits. So, although still +EV, it's kinda lousy to find a lone 2x on the very first hand of a ten play game.

And you're welcome.
