The most addictive video poker game I have found is the 5 Play Multi-strike machine at Sam's Town.

I got completely REKT, but had a fun time doing so.

Anyone know of one of these bad boys on the Strip or anywhere closer than Boulder Highway?

I have found several multi-strike machines on the Strip, but not a 5 Play..

Thought maybe this is something they'd list on http://www.vpfree2.com/video-poker/search

Don't think it's listed though.

Thanks, some point in Jan likely. My parents will be back in town mid-Jan, so some point after that makes sense. I've been trying very hard to preserve my roll since returning in Nov.

Nice hit! That's sort of like how I made a royal in May 2016- when that center line fills in on spin poker and you're playing multiline... bang!

How come the top one didn't draw the lines? I never understand how those get drawn anyway.

Do the Spin machines usually have a worse paytable to compensate?

Bang! Not just the middle (line), but the middle middle!

Spin games pretty commonly have pay tables in line with whatever is normal at the casino for a given denomination. They have the exact same EV per line as a "standard" single line game.

The machines just have a set number of what they consider lines. Some have up to 20 "lines", which really stretches the definition of the word "line".

From a paytable perspective, not necessarily. The Wynn, for example, has a few full pay spin machines. The results are still mathematically independent from an odds/payout perspective. The main good/bad difference in spin is when you hit (as in these examples), you invariably hit several ways. By contrast, when you miss, you're missing "multiple times" simply by virtue of one card.

The easiest example of the latter I can give is when you're drawing to a 4 flush or 4 straight. Suppose you're playing 3 line, regular 'ol multiline poker. You get three independent draws, and could make 0, 1, 2 or 3 flushes on the redraw. Spin, you either make all 3 or miss all of them. Overall math ends up working out the same.

Spin poker is my absolute favorite. Theres just sometheing about seeing your single card hit and getting 3 (and occasionally 5!) Quads or whatever at once.

Played deuces wild bonus last week at Aria. My best opportunity. Hit one ace but couldn't find a deuce. Zero dirties, too.

I'm not a Deuces Wild Player (only TDB and DDB) but wouldn't a better play be to discard the Ace and have double the chances of the 4th deuce?

No. 4 deuces plus ace is 2000, 5 aces is 400. And 4 outs for a wild royal.

Sounds like the "lottery ticket" aspect is greater than ordinary multi-line.

I've played Spin before. It was actually the first multi-line game I played. I didn't really know what was happening, other than points appeared more quickly and money disappeared more quickly.

The variance on regular multiline is basically all focused on what you get dealt because any hand on 10 play that gets made on one hand can only be so good. You don't get a huge score unless you get dealt something. On spin poker you only need to make it on one spot and 1/3 of all your hands just made something huge.

How pathetic is it that I just read this and saw it as MORE of a reason to play more spin?

Inspired by this thread, I hit this at an online casino (Betcoin)...too bad it isn't TDB where the kicker counts! Still a nice payout tho!

Oh I agree. I think the variance is more enjoyable. You should try UX spin. They always have TDB.

The only UX spin I've found in Vegas is at Binions... anyone else found these?

Dealt 4 deuces and a kicker on 5 play, receive 500 coin. What a disaster.

I was once dealt 4 aces on 50 play deuces wild, the very first time I played deuces. I was not pleased.

They have UX spin at my local casino but the paytables are garbage. Otherwise I'd be totally happy with the denom (25c), 1$ credits is way too big for that game.

Are your top two banks of reels active as well? If so, ugh what a miss. I'd be pissed.
