Concerning the actual impact of multiplay, I can't give you hard math,
but some very decent rules of thumb. 3-play will play similarly to
1-play at twice the denomination ($.25 3-play akin to $.50 single).
10-play will have a little more volatility than 4x the denomination
($.25 10-play a little above $1 single line). These aren't precise,
but certainly strong enough to provide a decent expectation of play.
From someone who's played all three and used 10/7 triple play quarters to try
to take the edge off of the SP $ alternative (so it's not such a bankroll
killer) that rule of thumb feels about right. If I've interpreted the math
correctly on Jazbo's site, variance goes up (for 10/7 DB) by about 24 % in SP vs.
3P with a corresponding increase in bankroll requirement. And increased
volatility would mean significantly more than a 24% increase to cash required for
any given session... Are there any 10/7 triples left in quarters? I used to
enjoy playing the ones at the Orleans. They were a fun ride.
