Single play or multi play

Post by gp00053 »

Hello everyone. Let me start by saying I am new to VP and want to thank everyone who shares in this forum. I have learned a ton from you all.
 
My first trip to the Casino was in Niagara Falls Canada. I played a single play Game King, Deuces Wild machine. I double my starting bankroll and went to a 50 play lower denomination Deuces WIld, doubled again; then went to a 100 play lower denomination Deuces Wild and more than doubled again. I went there to gamble and build my starting bankroll.
 
My guestion is would I be better off playing single play, higher denomination machine or a lower denomination multi play machine.
 
Thanks to those who replay and good luck to all

Sounds like you are doing fine the way it is going. Stick with that.  If it ain't broke don't fix it yet.

In my opinion, which means nothing, I would rather play a single line for more. If you think about it, you are investing 3.75 on a quarter 3 line game for a maximum payout of 3000 dollars. ( If you are dealt a royal. On a single line $1 game, you are investing $5 for a payout of 4000. The catch to all that is, that it seems like you can play longer on your money on a multi line game with a few more chances to hit the jackpot. It could be an even exchange.

Multi-play vs single play is question often posed by new gamblers. From my perspecitive the answer is simple. Play the game with the BEST paytable.
 
The easiest way to view multi-play is faster single play. Very often you will find pay tables shorted on multi-play games for the same games you'll find at higher denoms on single play. Occasionally, you'll see exactly the opposite.
 
Get to know the various paytables for the games you play. It's not difficult and it will make a big difference over time.
