No, I have seen the multiplier on the first play and since it was a 4x with two full houses out of three it was a very good result.

Yup, that's what it was. Good catch.
I never got around to recording the multiplier today as I had plenty
of problems with plain JOB. One thing about the multiplier which is
extremely annoying is that a number of hands must be played before it
makes its first appearance. So not only is it spaced on average 15
hands apart, but there is an initial delay, i.e. the multiplier will
never appear on the 1st 6 coin bet. Furthermore if you switch back and
forth between 6 and 5 coins if the 6 coin intervals are less than 15
hands the multiplier will not appear at all. It seems like the
internal counter for the number of 6 coin hands is initialized on the
first 6 coin hand and is reset on the first non 6 coin hand.

Subject: [vpFREE_Chicago] Re: Majestic Star new gamesI went through the calculations on my own and arrived at almost the
same result. I get .998165 vs. your .998204. Not sure where the
difference lies, but it doesn't appear significant. Getting that
average multiplier is absolutely vital though as the game is totally
horrid with a sub-average multiplier. Of course it helps to be dealt
something worthwhile when the multiplier pops up. As someone aptly
pointed out "ten times nothing is still nothing". I got some big
multipliers for good hands on Sunday, but suspect the average
multiplier was not as high as advertised. Just for grins I'm going to
record the multiplier and hand every time it comes up when I play
tomorrow. Since the multiplier comes up only once every 15 hands the
time spent recording won't be too big of a hit and it'll allow me to
more accurately gauge the value of the multiplier.--- In vpFREE_Chicago@yahoogroups.com, "Howard Stern"

is 4.05 so you get an extra 3.05 on average thus the numerator is
15+3.05=18.05.
