Ultimate X Video Poker

#1

I may get some flak for this as I'm sure some of you already know and probably wouldn't like the whole world to be clued in on it. The game is not in my market and I have no vested interest in keeping quiet about it. I've never played the game but have read extensively about it. Vulturing Ultimate X Video Poker is the most prevalent AP play in the video poker world these days. The game is multi-denominational and comes in 3,5 and 10 play. The max bet is 10 coins and you are awarded multipliers on the next game for making certain hands in the current game. The biggest multiplier is 12X.

The AP play is to go through all the games and denominations looking for multipliers left by the previous player. You don't have to worry about payscales. Even if you were to find just one 2X multiplier on a ten play and the game is only 94% you would have over a 3% advantage by betting just 5 coins per line for one game then cashing out. The advantages with bigger multipliers are much bigger than that. The best advantage you could find would be 12X on all ten lines of a ten play.

Again, the max bet is 10 coins per line and it's the 10 coin bet that creates the multipliers. But vulturing the game you want to bet just 5 coins per line for one game then cash out.

Good luck to those of you who are just now aware of the game.

I've watched the "vultures" at work many times, in various locations. I've never seen any of them put money in and play. Perhaps there just aren't multipliers left? I know I'm going to feed my machine again before I'd ever walk off a leave anything greater than 2-3X on one line.

Recognizing the better odds when the multiplier IS found, it sure seems like a long shot at making any real profit. But it seems to entertain quite a few people.

I used to do it myself if there were machines around me with that game on it, as opposed to hunting for them, but I stopped bothering about a year ago. I found that the leftovers are few and far between these days, and the effort doesn't pay off any more. I must admit though that a few times I found so many multipliers left on a game, that I couldn't get my money in fast enough to play it off.

As occurs most of the time these kinds of plays are posted here as a matter of historical observation, as opposed to something you can use too much today, but it is still a good lesson on learning to be aware of what might be out there, and to always be observant.

Mickey came to the party on this one a little late. The buzzards started when the game first came out. Along with the scam artists.

Not late, Scott. I've known about the game for years. But it wasn't out when I moved to Montana 8 years ago. I've just kept my mouth shut about it. I don't think the earning potential would be that great in a spot with a lot of hustlers in it. But I think it would be like extra cashback in spots where there aren't so many wiseguys.

And two other exploitable, Multi Steak and Barnyard.

We have the game at local casino 1c to 25c & I check it once in a while. Actually hit 2 ryals a while back, one times 2...unfortunately both 1C. Was at Joliet, Ill a coupla years ago. They have(had???) 25c & $1. I ran thru the games, on a Fri. nite , I think. When I came to $1, I thought to myself....surely someone playing $1 has sense enuff not to leave multipliers...nope, there were some, so it cost me $50 to play the 10 hand DDB. I don't even remember the result so it wasn't memorable.

  Didn't I read on here a coupla years ago that someone hit the "ultimate"... dealt full house followed by dealt royal, but I think it was 1 or 2 C??

A dealt royal following a dealt full house would pay 480,000 coins on a ten play. Frequency of occurance would be about 2.4 billion, I think.

You aren't likely giving any information up to anyone who is at all interested in advantage machine play. Finding UX bonuses is the low hanging fruit of the AP universe. You are correct, though... There are places where it is worth ones time to make several passes of the UX inventory a day if you are in the casino anyway. Where one can find many abandoned multipliers even at the 50 cent and dollar level. And then there are places that are just over hustled. Where one can see people poking away looking for multipliers, or getting on a UX machine as soon as another player has left. I don't get out to Las Vegas much anymore, but I suspect many Las Vegas casinos are in the latter category.
