where do i cast my vote to remove multi strike from the contest list?

[Galeygoo]

I love that idea   Then, replace it with Random Rewads

[Galeygoo]

Ok, forgot spellcheck Rewards

[Vman96]

Replace it with Random Rewards? Meh. But at least I would see what Random Rewards would pay out on decent paytables I guess. Random Rewards has to be one of the worst games for the casual player.

[Galeygoo]

I think it's fun, especially when it's not costing you and real moolah.

I don't care for multistrike but 50 hands was not as painful as 100 hands.   I also like the idea of Random Rewards being added to the rotation.

IGT was a bit dumb when writing the word "slot" on the spin poker game titles. I think it scares more players away than attract them. Nevertheless, the expected payback of the game is just like every other video poker game on the site. The only similarity they have to slot machines are how the paylines are organized. They also are popular enough in the casino to keep them on here. I often see players in my local casinos playing them and if I wanted to gamble $2.25 a spin, I might too since they pay pretty well in my area.

True enough, though I'd expect the variance on Spin Poker would be greater than on a "straight" multiline VP machine for any given game as the drawn cards are repeated over a number of lines. Just play your regular strategy and you should be fine.

I confess to tossing a few bills at the Dean Martin line of slots. "How lucky can one guy be...."

Yeah, you're right because that increases the "covariance" in Spin Poker. The bottom of the page lists the standard deviation of Spin Poker vs. standard multi-hand video poker. 9 lines of Spin Poker has a similar standard deviation to 18-hands of multihand for 9/6 JoB.

Edit: Speak of the devil, Spin Poker is today's contest...lol

And to follow up on the topic title: Today I was able to pull off 500 rounds of Triple Play without a Quad! I can't recall last time I did that...haha But if I am not going to win a daily contest, I hope for bad scores since they have no value monetarily.
