The scammer was trying to generate multipliers on the ultimate x, making it a +ev play for himself. In my opinion, this is no different than an advantage player playing a high progressive vp or slot machine. Some ploppy has to build it up and you take in the ev because of it.
The original poster was the one scammed because he believed someone lying to him in a casino. For whatever reason, instead of just learning his lesson, he wants to get this other person banned.

Like a fool I follow him to other side where there are two empty seats for Ultimate X. He has me play all the games leaving multipliers with the line that you have to switch every few hands in order to turn on multiplier & you have to switch machines. The gist is I didn't believe him but I went with it & left a lot of multipliers active. He seemed to know how to play & mentioned American Casino Guide so I suckered for it. I realized I was scammed when I got on another forum & someone reported a similar scam involving old ladies.
