Nice. Keep it up Jstark!

Next year I may just do the multiplier scouting with my free play if I can still get. I will see how much I can make for the whole year.

Lots of people just leave them at Mohegan Sun. Many are just 2x. I wonder how much percentage wise the 2x adds to the return on a 3 line game where only one line has a 2 x. For argument’s sake 9/6 DDB on a quarter game.

(1+1+2)/3 * 99% = 132% per game. (Or 32% edge per game. Your expected profit is $1.2 for this case.)

You can hardly find even a 0.5% edge game in the casino nowadays. Picking multipliers is the best AP.

If you do it every day, assume you can wager $50 with the edge being 50%, you can make $25 a day on average. That's about $9K a year. Not too much but way better than losing $9K. And you don't need any substantial bankroll. A couple of hundred is enough since the edge is just too significant.

No problem. Give it a try for a week and post back how much you made. Good luck!

I heard if you teach all how to fish, the lake runs out of fish.

Yeah but if one fisherperson doesn't disclose their "secret fishing spots" to other fisherpersons or tell them about penalty fish, then all is good. Fisherpersons also really need to be up on a fishing spot's "Bait Club" so that they don't lose out on any lure give-aways or tartar sauce promotions.

I had a dealt 82228 on a crappy nickel DW game the other day while picking off multipliers. The quint paid 50. Had to run the hand on the analyzer as I wasn't sure (not completely familiar with those lousy pay table DW games). It was a 222 hold. Ended up with 2 wild 4oak's and 1 redrawn quint.
Yeah, if 5oK pays 12 instead of 15 and royal pays 20 instead of 25, hold 3 deuces if betting 5 credits.

But I think holding 5 of a kind is still the correct strategy when betting 10 credits. (not your case)

I never seriously study DW games since the best game in my area is the ugly deuces, not quite interesting.
Holding a quint betting 10 at UX is incorrect at all paytables except when a quint pays 80 coins without a multiplier. You must have glossed over that in my last post in this thread. When vulturing, also hold a quint at 75 coins.

Your formula is clearly wrong. “So a quint with a 5X multiplier on board is worth 16 x 5 + 2 -1 = 81” It should be like this:

(adjusted win) = 2×(base win) + (multiplier) - 1

“When vulturing, also hold a quint at 75 coins.” - that’s exactly what I mean.

I have a pic on my old phone of one of the biggest Largemouth Basses ever caught in Ct. she was ready to lay her eggs and I carefully placed her back in the water. Caught her in my secret fishing spot. Now if I can only find that secret casino spot. Last year I told a player about my secret dollar 800 for bet one 99 percent machine at Mohegan Sun. It is now shut down due to covod spacing. Anyway, the guy started playing it and hit for 100k. Not when I was there, but a little birdie told me. I don’t mind when others do well. I will say this. Anytime I have passed by this guy and he was playing my secret machine, he has offered to let me have it. I have always declined and just said go get em. I kinda feel what goes around in life comes around so to speak.
