First time working UX

Post by wildman49 »

Never did the clean up before, but last we did the UX chasing leftover multiples left on one machine. Now am I just to play the 5 coins per line right? any how I made $22 bucks doing it and was surprised by it. If one could find a dozen machines a day could be a nice take. I was just killing time, I see others doing it so I gave it a shot. Any others out there hit any good hits? OR take a bath trying it?

A few of today's haul.

Although the $100 full house was nice, I particularly like the THREE quad 8's on the 10 play holding just a pair of them.

I rarely see more than 2x left on the screen. I have tried it a few times and lost every time. Then like an idiot, I stuff in a hundred on an 8/5 JOB or 8/5 DDB machine and lose that too in ten minutes on a triple play machine. Most recently, I tried it hoping the player next to me who was almost out of money would leave the single line game I wanted. Every time he would get down to the last bet, it would hit say a full house. 2 hundred bucks and 20 minutes later I got up and left learning a valuable lesson.

Agreed that mostly you'll just find 2x's & 3x's. But as you see from the top picture, sometimes you find these gems and capitalize on them. Just have to be vigilant.

I caught this quad on Multi-Streak earlier tonight.

That's not how I work the UX machines. I must be doing it wrong.

Just recently tried it also. Also amazed! Started with a quarter 5 play and netted $50 on the first hand. Won more on a dime 10 play I found, netting over $200 total on 4 machines in 15 minutes. One casino has the machines set to zero it all out after some time or something— don’t think that’s right but probably in the future for these games. It shows there are multipliers but they disappear once you go to play them. They looked like brand new machines. Either way it’s a real opportunity

Agree There are quite a few scavengers at Mohegan sun but I mostly play in the middle of the night and I would have the whole place to myself to look for them
