Advantage Play Guide: 7/5 Bonus Poker 10-Play Ultimate X (single-line strategy + key multiplier exceptions)
Type of play
- Low-house-edge video poker with Ultimate X multipliers.
- Goal: Use a simple “always” hold list (99.32% EV) and apply a few multiplier-based exceptions to claw back some EV toward perfect (99.40% EV).
- This guide is for 10-play Ultimate X only (not single-line Ultimate X).
What to look for (game + conditions)
- Machine/game: “7/5 Bonus Poker” with “Ultimate X” and “10-play/10-hand.”
- Paytable confirmation: Bonus Poker with 7/5 (Full House pays 7, Flush pays 5).
- You must be able to see/estimate the “average multiplier” situation (practically: whether your current multiplier environment is low, medium, or high based on what you’ve been earning/using on the prior hand(s) across the 10 lines).
