Dream last week: $10 bet yielding $8,000 RF. You probably had much better odds of hitting your jackpot.

One of the regulars here, who normally pays bonus deuces, was playing 5 play DDB for a change. After getting a beat down on the game, he switched back to bonus deuces. It didn't take but 5 minutes to get a dealt 2AA and proceeds to draw AA on hand #5. All I could do was point and laugh! :lol: :lol: :lol:

All of the calculations provided so far are looking at hitting a good hand on the very next hand. This is a very different problem from hitting such a hand EVER --- which is really what we have here. Play long enough and having at least one dealt royal lifetime is a virtual certainty.

Insofar as getting such a hand on UX with a certain number of multipliers --- the same thing goes. Play enough UX hands and you get one or more dealt royals with some decent multipliers.

It's virtually certain. You just don't know when and where.

Obviously, the way I play this game, the types of winners are irrelevant. I posted the above picture just for laughs. I've had plenty of higher paying wins over the lifetime of this game. Profiting is more important. If and when I do play UX straight up, it's for sessions that last less than a few minutes.

bob u said virtual certainty NOT absolute certainty . black swans do happen ! its possible to flip a fair coin 1000 times heads , astronomicly unlikely but still possible !!

Damn, you weren't at Rivers Chicago were you?

That's the only casino I've been to that sets a $1 minimum on their nickel UX. I still check the stupid 3 play though. Could have said hi if you were. Lol

Not Rivers. Many of these machines here have had these minimum bets since about 2012.

The 3 play is still viable if the multipliers are high enough. Treat it like vulturing UX Bonus Streak/Spin Poker. Found a 7x, 3x, 3x on a nickel 3 play with the $1 min a few days ago.
