Tom,
I know of a few variants on the standard machine.
1) New-looking one with scrolling selection of games.
These show the already played multipliers from the previous hand,
even when you change games.
2) All-Star makes bartop & standard games, where UltimateX is one of
the video poker options.
3) Some multi-game machines have single-line UltimateX.
4) Some machines have paytable/multiplier variations (e.g. Jacks 9/6
with 10X for flush).
Try playing 3-play nickels/quarters for 10 coins to see what happens.
If you play until the the multipliers are gone,
usually you won't lose more than $4 (nickels) or $20 (quarters).
$8 (nickels) or $40 (quarters) loss happens once in a while, but is
rare.
Since it's the Mirage the paytables will probably be pretty bad,
but no worse than 95.6% (Jacks 6/5).
