Reason for playing multi-draw games?

[Tedlark]

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.

To simplify the analysis, suppose you're dealt 4 to a royal. Which opportunity would you prefer?

(1) [single line, $1 denom] one chance at $4000, or
(2) [multi line, 10c denom], ten chances at $400

I think most players would choose option 1 because they're trying to hit jackpots. I would choose option 2 every day, and twice on Monday.

As for availability in Nevada, it is hard to find good multi. Sometimes I have to accept single, but I'm not happy about it.

I personally, would also choose the multi-line option. When comparing the two above options, what also needs to be weighed is in option 1, what the winnings would be if it were a dud hand. The player did not connect on the royal, nor, connect on any of the 3 or 4 face cards making up the 4 to the royal. In option 2, you have 10 chances of making something back.

I'd play multi line if I want to bet bigger but with less volatility. For example I prefer $25 bets playing 10 play .50 denomination instead of single line $5 denomination.
