Triple Double Bonus. Four 2s, 3s, or 4s with a kicker pays 2000 coins,
too. One of my favorite games, but it's HIGHLY volatile.> Oops, thank you -- had not seen that game before

The
obvious skill of this AP is overwhelming.
Insanely enough, that was the very argument put forth by several
casino manglers when multiplays became popular: that a mere "quarter
machine" could pay off $5000 or more with a lucky dealt hand. This
happened at the Reserve, Santa Fe (pre-Stationization), and the Gold
Coast, among others: somebody would get dealt a royal on nickel 100-
play, and the shit would hit the fan, and the downgrades came thick
and fast. Of course, the counter-argument to that is that a nickel
100-play is the same thing, functionally, as a $5 single-liner
($25/hand), so maybe its top jackpot SHOULD damn well pay $20,000,
just like a $5 single-line. DUH, you say, but the casino middle-
management buttbrains were of the mindset that any game that has a
potential high payout MUST have a high house edge. Thus, any "NICKEL"
or "QUARTER" machine that could pay out in the tens of thousands on a
single hand HAD to be downgraded to the payout percentage of a slot
machine. This kind of thinking--if that's the word for it--is why you
see the ghastliest paytable on multiliners, which seems completely
backwards if you're sane.
