Yeah, the single line game on videopoker.com gives a multiplier one lower for a flush, and only 2X for quads or better. The entire multiplier table looks like this:
Quads or better: 2X
Full House: 12X
Flush: 10X
Straight: 7X
Three of a Kind: 4X
Two Pair: 3X
Jacks or Better: 2X
With these multipliers, 9/6 JoB - Ultimate X would return 99.64% with a single optimal strategy. If the game still currently exists, it's definitely listable for the database. The best I have seen for single line though is 8/6 (98.50% for single line).
Why they screw you over on multipliers so badly on single line, I really don't understand. Definitely misleading for someone who doesn't pay close attention (many Ultimate X players don't).
As for which strategy to use, 8/6 JoB for Ultimate X would be a decent start.
