It really depends on game (i.e. deuces wild, double double bonus, etc.) and pay schedules (how much you get for full houses, flushes, etc.) Either of these games can be excellent. Either of these games can be terrible

Tough one to call. STP requires a 6th coin for the random multiplier vs. Ult X which requires more coin in but will give you more multipliers for each paying hand. Paytable and luck are your only friends here. I don't recall what the ratio is per hand for the STP multiplier.

I'd ask which you would sooner burn a twenty on. But that would be gobbled up in no time either way!

[quote=FAA]But that would be gobbled up in no time either way![/quote]I wouldn't play either one.  If I wanted to take a lucky shot, I would play $100 on a $5 DDB game.  Like you said, either way you lose most of the time....
