    Now if only you had QUIT WHILE AHEAD, you'd have never hit that.

    Nice hits Alan, congrats.

    Interesting that you said that. I always use winners to move up to higher denominations. I disagree with Rob who says to move down. Frankly winning $100 with AAAA was not a day-ending win... but had I won $1,000 (royal) on that $30 of free play I would have quit for the day.

    Nice hit.

    How long did it take for you to lose it on $5 or $10 denom? I kid, I kid.

    He's going to spread it around on the craps table. Woo-Hoo, back in action for the second half of the month.
    Definitely a nice hit though.

    It's been a very, very long time since I played $5 VP.

    Is that a +EV play?...a 10-play game with 2X multipliers on 2 or 3 hands?

    Can't tell what the multiplier is on the third hand. What does it need to be to make the play +EV?

    The reason I say to move down is because casinos make lots of their profits from players who are suddenly overconfident and feel they can get an even bigger thrill by doing it again on a higher denomination. It is never wrong to be satisfied with a profit off of free play or anything else.

    I'm just surprised no one has said it so I will. You've posted many times how you go into RR to get your small amount of free play and leave with whatever profit you get from running it thru once. Is that really true? I ask because I'm someone who actually does that, and it takes gobs of discipline.

    The game was 7/5 Double Double Bonus, 95.71% with no multipliers. On this play 8 lines pay 95.7% and two lines pay 191.4%.

    95.71 X 8 = 765.68
    191.42 X 2 = 382.84

    765.68 + 382.84 = 1148.52

    1148.52/10 = 114.85%

    So I had a 14.85% edge on the hand. This is the first time I've hit a royal while sweeping out UX's. I don't concentrate on them much.

    It looks like there is another multiplier obscured by the flash.

    Does that change the EV for the hand?

    Alan going in and cycling FP once is about as likely as 18 yos in a row.

    Yep. I don't remember what it was but I'm guessing it was another 2X. That would make the hand worth 124.42%.

    So the only time this game is not +EV is when there are no multipliers?

    Yes, that's correct. On a ten play if there is just one 2X multiplier it's at 105.3%. But you have to make sure to bet just five coins per line.

    The exception (10-handed) being if the base game is ridiculously low (~90% payback or below) - but basically yes (nice hit Mickey).

    It'd have to be 90.90909...% base payback for a single 2x on 10-play to be break-even. I've never seen a machine that bad, at least not on UX.

    Some years ago, I was showing a guy I played blackjack with how to vulture UX machines, because he didn't really understand what I was doing and he wanted to verify it was +EV since he was taking action on them anyway. Not that it was a huge deal either way since they were almost always very low denom. Anyway, we went looking through some machines and found a 25c DDB game with a few multipliers. Held the ace only, bricked on most of the hands, but connected A's w/ kicker (no multiplier) for $500. That didn't really change his mind (he was already pretty sure it was +EV anyway), since he's a smart guy and knew getting paid back effectively 11+ hands for only betting 10 hands was a great deal.
