Thanks for your views.
I guess I have both objectives; to play the full day without losing my
daily bankroll and to end up with the best result I can.
The last few trips to Vegas my wife has done better on multi-play
nickels than I've done on single play quarters. Like you said the
swings do seem to be smaller for her because she tends to hit good
hands more often with the multi-play games. She also got dealt 4 aces
on double bonus twice on the same day last trip, so her winnings ended
up good too.
I guess what got me thinking about this was that ever since I started
playing quarters I haven't hit a Royal. When I used to play
multi-play nickels, I think I hit a Royal on every Vegas trip. I've
come close with some dealt 4 card royals on single line quarters, but
didn't hit it on the draw. Exciting though to get close. I thought
maybe because of our relatively low daily bankroll, that the lower
number of hands I see using quarters might be a factor.
Your fourth point is key though. I switched to quarter single play
because of the exciting possibility of a big score with a Royal. The
thrill of that possibility has me enjoying single line more, so that's
what I'll stick with. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jack
