Multipliers Rising Poker

Introduction

Multipliers Rising Poker is a unique variant of video poker where multiplier sequences are delivered at random. Its gameplay is akin to traditional video poker, but with the twist that multipliers aren't based on hand performance during the draw. Ultimate X Bonus Streak The Multipliers Rising feature is an optional element introduced to regular multi-play video poker games. It is offered in formats including 3-play, 5-play, and 10-play options.

Rules

1. Players have the option to place standard bets of one to five credits per hand or activate the Multipliers Rising feature by wagering ten credits per hand.
2. When engaging with the Multipliers Rising feature, the player effectively bets five credits per hand while also matching that amount to activate the feature.
3. If a current play isn’t part of a multiplier sequence, there’s a 1 in 16.9 chance that placing a bet will trigger the start of a new multiplier sequence on the next bet.
4. Won multiplier chains will be applied to the upcoming four hands in the following sequence: starting at 2x, then 4x, followed by 6x and finally 12x.
5. If a play is already involved in a multiplier sequence, it cannot trigger a new sequence within that play.
6. To qualify for any multipliers in a specific play, players must place the full bet of ten coins per round.
7. For instance, I played 5-play 9-6 Jacks or Better, and my winnings per hand were as follows:

Example

Top right: Two pairs with a 1x multiplier results in 10*1 = 10

• Top left: Flush with 12x multiplier pays 30*12 = 360
• Middle left: A poor hand with a 1x multiplier results in 0*1 = 0
• Middle right: A flush paired with a 6x multiplier pays 30*6 = 180
• The subsequent table illustrates the frequency of various multipliers in gameplay. The bottom right cell indicates that the average multiplier per play is 2.005025. When this is divided by 2, reflecting the player’s need to double their bet to utilize the feature, the return for each game along with its respective pay table can be calculated as the base return multiplied by 1.0025. For example, with the feature, the return for 9/6 Jacks or Better becomes 99.54% multiplied by 1.0025, equating to 99.79%.
• Bottom: Junk with 2x multiplier pays 0*2 = 2

My total win was 360 + 10 + 180 = 550.

Analysis

The following table compares returns with and without the feature across different popular games and pay tables. I make no guarantees that this list aligns perfectly with the games and pay tables for this specific variant.

Return Tables

A straightforward vulturing tactic is to focus solely on the next game while keeping track of the multipliers associated with that round. The multipliers displayed are from the preceding game, so you should advance one position on the scale. A play with no multiplier is still regarded as having a multiplier of 1. If the cumulative total of multipliers meets or exceeds the number of plays, it's worth playing!

Vulturing

You might be curious why I suggest playing a situation like 1x, 1x, and 4x in a three-play game. The rationale is that there could be a chance for a multiplier sequence on those plays counted as 1x. A play that doesn’t guarantee a multiplier on the next hand actually holds an expected multiplier of 1.059172, not to mention the potential value in the next three hands.

Take a look at the following image as an illustrative example.

The upcoming multipliers for the next hand will be:

The total multipliers amount to 15, which far exceeds the 10 that we require, making the next game a promising opportunity.

• Top left: 1x
• Top right: 6x
• Middle left: 6x
• Middle right: 1x
• Bottom: 1x
