Re: Quick Quads Strategy

Post by Eduardo »

I'm pretty sure those Aces would become the needed "2" so no kicker possible on a quick quad. But the good news is, if you have a hand that leaves you holding A 2 2 2 then you have a shot at the kicker quad and also 3 extra aces in the deck to save a quad instead of a full house.

That's right, although I haven't seen it yet. I have had 3 4s with a pair of 2s and it's only 400 credits.

Well, I've made a little more progress on the QQ payback program. Found a couple of problems and the payback is now just below 99% for the QQ version. Since I'm off by .2% on the regular version and I think the QQ version is probably similar, which would mean the payback would come in around 99.15. I'm off to the casinos now but I'll get back to it later.
 
Once I get this right I'll look into developing a basic strategy and then look into the other QQ games.

That's right.  I've hit a QQ as A,2,2,2,A on DDB and it's a 400-pointer.  I'm waiting to hear the first story from someone who hits it both ways off the same deal - dealt A,2,2,2 and drawing an A on one line and 2 on another.

I did just hit a 2000 credit quad Ace with a 2.  Just one hand though.  Been trying all morning and so far this afternoon to catch the leader and got to within 100 credits a couple of times.  This hit that Ace quad and took the lead.  Think I'd best get some pay-check work done now.Proof's in the puddin.  I just held 2 Aces and drew 3 deuces on one hand and got quick-quads for 400...not 1000.  Heck, with the paytables and extra credit bet we should get:15 for the trip deuces5 for the pair of aces45 for the full house1000 for the quad 2's with the ace kicker <LOL>for a total win on 1065 instead of 400.

My QQ score update.
Hands 676, QQs 3=780, Reg. Quads 3=920, Score -71. What a credit eater.
 
it looks like a hit early and run game unless you are lucky like MikeA.

Save that one for now.  When QQ is out for real print it out, stick it on the screen, and see if the casino falls for it.
 
I had a nice one this morning, but not as good as yours.  Held 6,6,6,5 and picked up an Ace on two lines (5-play).
