If you're dealt aces full, do you hold the dealt full house to get the 12X multiplier on all hands next hand (playing ten hands!!). Or do you drop the boat and go for 4 aces?
Same if dealt 2s full, 3s full, or 4s full?
Tough one as the 12X on the next hand is worth a ton!
Double Double Bonus or Triple Double Bonus where AAAA2 pays 2000 or 4000 are the only games you would consider breaking up AAA full house (or Super Aces Bonus where AAAAX pays 2000).
If you had 10 lines of multipliers lets do some math...
Full House pays 45 so 450 credits on a 10 line game.
If all 10 had 2x multiplier that is 900
If all 10 had 3x multiplier that is 1350
If all 10 had 4x multiplier that is 1800
If all 10 had 8x multipler that is 3600
If all 10 had 10x multiplier that is 4500
If all 10 had 12x multipler that is 5400
You are automatically DEALT those winnings if dealt a full house.
If 3 of a kind is only held:
Double Double Bonus
If all 10 had 2x multiplier that is 300
If all 10 had 3x multiplier that is 450
If all 10 had 4x multiplier that is 600
If all 10 had 8x multipler that is 1200
If all 10 had 10x multiplier that is 1500
If all 10 had 12x multipler that is 1800
Triple Double Bonus
If all 10 had 2x multiplier that is 200
If all 10 had 3x multiplier that is 300
If all 10 had 4x multiplier that is 400
If all 10 had 8x multipler that is 800
If all 10 had 10x multiplier that is 1000
If all 10 had 12x multipler that is 1200
It is a tough one... You could really go either way, but if you already have big multipliers up there, the amount you get for the full house on each line is worth holding. You could not get a single 4-Aces or even 4-Aces with a kicker... Even if you did get AAAAx on say a 4x multiplier without a kicker the chances of that on that one particular line is so hard.
