Reason for playing multi-draw games?

Post by thebrown225 »

If you are playing a VP game such as 9/6 JoB, why would you choose to play single dear vs double, triple, ten times, etc. play?

I am not sure but I don't believe you can find 9/6 JOB in a multiline format.
Multiline machines usually have bad pay-tables (correct me if I am wrong I am not a multiliner).
Have avoided them, based on my belief.
Right or wrong?

I’ve definitely seen triple play 9/6… Southpoint, Barona, Peppermill to name a few. And in many high limit areas for sure.

None at Mohegan Sun in Ct that I know of. They do still have 9/6 Single line Quarters though.

None even close to full-pay where I play.
What is so attractive about multi-line that makes eating a 1-1/2 to 3% higher house advantage playable?
Sure single line JOB can bore you to tears at times. But the fact that I can have A shot at advantage play makes up for that.
At least for me.

If that disparity prevailed at all casinos, then I would be forced to play single line only.
