Agree!
What is it that is supposed to overcome the bad paytables?
Just asking, i do not play them.
It depends on how you play it. For me, this is a significantly positive game.

I don't see anything in your two screenshots that demonstrate ult x to be a significantly positive game. I see a tremendous amount of luck involved in the first screenshot holding one two and pulling the other three 2's in deuces wild. Please explain your strategies that make ult x is a significantly positive game.

Explain me how I get multipliers by betting 5 per hand only. Got that?

Hop is correct. He had an advantage on the play BEFORE the cards were dealt.

Just from vultureing?
Or long term?

With that pay table, vulturing. Doubtful even the point and others from the club card helps much.

IMO, vulturing is the only way to play that game.

Nickels is the only way to play this game.

You can quickly burn through many hundreds of dollars playing this game straight up even on nickels.

I e done well on X but it is a game that can frustrate. I do love the game but feel my advantage is much lower that regular. Like the one guy said you get a 12x multiplier and nothing. But then all the sudden boom you get a big hand. I like playing 10 cent 3 hand. Couple months ago was dealt 4 A. Hit for 22 thousand dimes lol that was fun
