ultimate x deuces question

Post by kidpitt »

ok, on the ultimate x deuces wild I have ben pondering this. when you are dealt 4 of a kind would it be better to hold all 5 cards instead of drawling to the 5 of a kind. the 4 of a kind pays 20 but gives a 7x multiplier next hand but the 5 of a kind pays 75 but only gives a 3x multiplier.

Doubtful, you only have a 4/47 chance of hitting the 5oak. Giving up 55 credits is probably a lot more than you would get from the increased multiplier.

Consider that the average return of the game is <100% which means your average win will be 5 coins or less before the multipliers. Hence, the extra 4x multiplier would be worth < 20 coins.

Thanks for the welcome, and now that I think about it that is true go for the 5oak.

I have become a bit of an ultimate x junkie the past month or so. I hit a royal on here x12 today on it, right before I was headed to the casino LOL
