After the following hand is played it will still show "2X" until the next hand is played but you won't see "next hand" beside it. That means the multiplier was played off on the previous hand. It has to say "next hand 2X" not just "2X" or you won't get the multiplier.
Mick-I can only speak for northern Indiana/Illinois but they absolutely do time out. They didn't used to but they were changed. I have left a game to hit the john and when I return the bonus is gone with no other hands having been played. On the games I have played, the "live" 2x is to the upper left. After you play that hand, the 2x is to the lower left. So when you see it on the lower left it means that hand was played. If it is in upper left you can vulture it. But again, at least up here, you better do it quickly or it will time out. I have even seen it time out while I searched the various games on that one machine looking for the best hanger to vulture.
