Mission you will be happy to hear that I got CRUSHED today. I had some business in the area so I stopped in. The 6 machines near each other were cleaned out but the other 2 were left with plenty of plays. I had a 5 play $2 with 4 multipliers. I completely bricked it. I also missed a $1 one. I had a decent win on $0.05 and $0.10 but the $75 I lost on the 2 big ones couldn't be overcome. +109 on UX since I started this thread and then -81 today. Owell I guess someone has to keep the lights on.

I'm not happy to hear that at all, there were plenty at about 2:30a.m. last night, but they were all for nickels. I had the good fortune of hitting a 4OaK on some Bonus Variant for 800 credits ($40) because of a 2x multiplier. I had a few small hits here and there in addition to that and ended up +$63 just on my UX action.

There were none in the clubhouse, and as I started to scroll through in the HL room, I noticed some eyes on me, so I said, "Oh, there's no Joker Poker on this machine," and left. I'd already made it all through all of them except a few of the $0.50 games and nothing in HL.

I had a Triple Play for dollars on one of the machines that is UX only with multipliers on the second and third hands, broke even on that specific play, though. 3OaK at the bottom and blanked the second and third.

If you find them, I hope you win huge, don't let a few losses get you down, they inevitably occur every now and then.

I cringe every time someone plays just 1 credit per hand on a screen with multipliers. Especially if it's a $1.00 10 play game and there are several 2X or 3X hands. I mean, you're just handing $20, $30, whatever it may be back to the casino.

Back when Parx Casino first introduced table games, they also installed a few high denomination Ultimate X machines in Parx East. There were three or four dedicated high rollers who played them everyday and liked to move around a lot. Over the course of a few hours it was not unusual to find $300 to $400 worth of equity left behind.

Couple that with several nearby $15 to $1000 blackjack tables with the best rules (by Pennsylvania law) and an 80 to 90% penetration. A great time to be an AP.

By the way, Ultimate X now has a cousin that is equally as profitable (and perhaps more so). Multi-Streak Poker machines are all over in the Atlantic City market, but I'm not sure about anywhere else.

In this game the ploppy bet 10 credits per hand, like Ultimate X, and each dealt hand Jacks or Better and up earns you stackable multipliers for the next 3 deals. If you find a game with multipliers on the top of the screen, simply bet 5 credits per hand and every single hand gets multiplied on the next deal.



And the world is given another wongable game. Nice find, Chauncey. It looks like an IGT game.

I found an opportunity on Monday, but I screwed it up. The very next game is furthest to the right. It's not nearly as good as Ultimate X though to find opportunities, because it's clear multipliers are for all hands for the next game.
