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.

Those are the real world where I play.
Have plenty of single line JOB at full pay, DUECES at 99.73% I believe it is, and a better DDB which is too much variant for me.
Do you find full pay multiline available in Vegas?
Even if available, don't they just multiply the pain or or gain? what"s the point? Certainly more excitement. :up:
