I am vacation planning and would love to find and visit casinos that have Ultimate X poker with a Jacks or Better 9/6 paytable. If anyone is certain of a casino having Ultimate X poker Jacks or better 9/6 paytable.... please let me know which casino and what denomination.
Thanks a million,

9/6 JoB will never exist for Ultimate X because that would create a machine with greater than a 100% payback for 3/5/10 play. And LOL at any casino offering a "gimmick game" > 100%. The best 3/5/10 play version Ultimate X available is 9/6 DDB. This returns ~99.7% for triple play and ~99.8% for 10-play.
A strategy can be found here:

Machines with these paytables can be found below. Warning: they are very expensive.

I've only seen it only in 1-Play. Anyone know the return for that version and if there is a strategy available?

I've played 9/6 JoB UX (Either the flush or straight was -1X lower than normal) and 8/5 Bonus UX (same -1X). Both single-line.
NOTE: Before you play any UX game, double-check the multipliers & payouts on the info page.
1) Check the full house, flush, and straight multipliers (on 3-play, 5-play, 10-play).
2) Check straight flush to see if it pays 40 instead of 50.
3) Look for anything else weird (e.g. royal pays 250 instead of 800).
Sometimes a place with 97% UX will have one full-pay UX game (e.g. Paris, Bally's, Rio had full-day Deuces UX .25/.50/1.00 for ~6 months before it was downgraded).
Often the paytables are different at 3-play & 10-play, even on the same denomination...and some casinos are inconsistent between machines (like any other VP games...seek & you might find).

Yeah, the single line game on videopoker.com gives a multiplier one lower for a flush, and only 2X for quads or better. The entire multiplier table looks like this:
Quads or better: 2X
Full House: 12X
Flush: 10X
Straight: 7X
Three of a Kind: 4X
Two Pair: 3X
Jacks or Better: 2X
With these multipliers, 9/6 JoB - Ultimate X would return 99.64% with a single optimal strategy. If the game still currently exists, it's definitely listable for the database. The best I have seen for single line though is 8/6 (98.50% for single line).
Why they screw you over on multipliers so badly on single line, I really don't understand. Definitely misleading for someone who doesn't pay close attention (many Ultimate X players don't).
As for which strategy to use, 8/6 JoB for Ultimate X would be a decent start.
