Figuring EV on carnival style games?

Good plan.

This past weekend I decided to play ULTX Gold straight up and it was a disaster.

I sat down to a .25 3-play Bonus Deluxe (8/5) with the quads mostly maxed and some meat on the lower hands. My intentions were quad or bust. It took nearly $1100 to hit a quad!! Thankfully it did pay me the $400 to end down about $600. $25 in bounce-back was earned. That was running bad for sure.

Ouch! They design these games to bust you before you hit imo. Used to never play the 2X bet games but they are all that’s coming out these days. Still prefer single line myself

And this is why bankroll is so important. Most people will bust because the premium hands are infrequent. It's not the casino or game designer to blame; it's the over-optimistic under-funded player

Just stay away of those game
