UltX has always been my favorite game at casinos, but sometimes hard to find. The game has it's ups and downs like all games, the difference is the ups and downs come quicker, and more often. Although the game at times feels like a cash dump, if played correctly can be profitable.

I like single hand UX sometimes, but nowhere in my state offers it. I wish they didn't program them to force you to play exactly 3, 5 or 10 hands. I loathe multihand UX

UX is a big drain in my unpopular opinion. It will suck money out of you to compensate for extremely rare events, while at the same time collecting it's 2% or more mathematical advantage. That royal that you're hoping will hand after a full house or flush, odds of that happening are about 1 in 2 million on a per hand basis. And you're still paying the house edge mathematically speaking all within those hands until you achieve these lightning strike events that are built into the game's math. Also, If your VP wins are spread out instead of back-to-back, you will be extinguished quickly!

That said, if you like UX, good for you, I hope your good results continue! :up:

Then you are a rare bird indeed.

Bonus Streak is exceptionally difficult to play well, with no strategies published, and pay schedules on this game generally suck in most places. Plus, even on easy games with well-defined strategies, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Basically nobody wins all the time. If you can fade all those disadvantages and still always come out ahead, you're one in at least 10 billion, because nobody else on the planet can honestly say that.

Assuming you're near the Detroit area based on previous post. Toledo has one 5☆ machine that has single hand UX on it.

Although more difficult, UX Bonus Streak is still vultureable.

I have never vultured UX before but have considered it. Should you use your players card while vulturing?
