Super Times Pay query

Post by rascal »

I have consistently done better on STP than any other game. My best jackpots were on 10 play, but mostly I go for 5 play and on many sessions I can at the very least turn a modest profit (*very* modest sometimes, but nonetheless still a profit.) My query is, for the regular STP players: Do you feel that 5 play has a better return over the long haul than 10 play? In theory it should all come out in the wash, but in reality, for me, 5 has been positive more consistently.

It probably depends on when you call it quits. 10 play will drain you more quickly in a dry spell (no multiplied wins). 5 Play will buy you some more time to wait for those hits that can put you on top for the session. To answer your question personally, I haven't noticed a diference. But I don't usually have enough of a bankroll to survive the dry spells in this game. My 10 play on it is very limited. I either win early or call mercy. It's still my favorite game overall.

Far more important than the number of lines is the pay schedule.Far more important than your actual results is the pay schedule. Your results over a few thousand hands are irrelevant. Playing good games generates good scores over time --- you'll have ups and downs in all games. But insisting that you have the advantage (game + slot club + promotions) is the "secret" to success at this game.  Bob

I have switched from 25c (sometimes 50c) NSU to 25c 3-line 9/6 Jacks STP at Gold Coast.Nothing good has happened yet.
