January Contest: Ultimate X

[Webman]

Ultimate X is one of the most popular games on the site, by far. It is the most played game by basic members, and for Gold members it is surpassed only by 100 play.I know everyone has their different favorites and hopefully other contests will make you happier. But the odds of another Ultimate X contest in the future are very high, based on the popularity among the member base.

 Good to hear webman. Ultimate X is one of my favorite games on the site as well as in the casino. The volatility does temper my play in the casino some though, although I have had some monster hits there. I also enjoy supertimes pay for the same reasons and find it more affordable for real money because 6 coins activate the bonus vs 10.
 
 Some suggestions I have for future contests would be maybe 10 play rather than 3 play if the server can support it. Also maybe some awards for highest game averages and cumulative scores.
 
 Keep up the good work webman for offering a contest every month. It keeps the site exciting. Thank you.

I agree with Damule.  I love Ultimate X.  It is not one I can afford to play much in a casino unless I can get a nice hit. but it is alot of fun to play.  I also would love to see a 10 play.  That would make it extremely interesting.  I like playing the variety of games in contests.  Some I like, some not so much, but it is always fun and I look forward to them every month.Thanks for all the hard work.  It is appreciated.

That is what is so great about this site, Doris.  There are so many different games to chose from.  You can play your personal favorites and also try something new.  Contest time we are given an opportunity by the site to play for fun a game they picked.   Sometimes we like them, sometimes we don't.  We can either play in it or not.

I don't think I've ever seen someone in a contest say they like the game unless they are in 1st place.

Ultimate X is a really GOOD game(just not in it's contest format) I find it extremely boring to the point I have to stop and go play its normal game.

I think those of us that play Ultimate X regularly play 10 play so it is really hard to go down to a 3 play format.  Not quite as much "action".

The demand is definitely there for 10 play in contests at some point so we appreciate the feedback. We are also hoping for a 50 or 100 play contest.The main reason we tend to use 3 Play in the contests is that as soon as you go 5 or 10 Play, the dealt winners are completely overwhelming in a contest format. They are almost completely overwhelming in 3 Play but you do have that occasional person who sneaks onto the board with a series of good hits instead of being dealt a winner. Obviously with 10X that would be virtually impossible.It's also more challenging to show the best hand results in a 10 play format but we could find a suitable approach. For 50/100 play we are considering displaying the cards that were held, followed by how many wins of each type you ended up with on a given deal, rather than the exact cards for all 100 hands.I'd love to hear your thoughts on that plan and if there is anything that could improve it.
