Most of my UX plays come on Bonus Deuces. I hate that game!
Most? This a crappy place to vulture? Lol

And I hate Bonus Deuces for vulturing too. Had a few of those today, didn't have anything good come out of it. This Deuces hit wasn't bad though.

Triple Double Bonus is probably the second most I get followed by Double Double Bonus. I did score this one Thursday.

Then you must have a big generator that likes those two games. These two variants are near last for me. Partly because they aren't in every casino I visit along with Bonus Poker. What's amazing though is that I have ZERO quads on Bonus.

Here is my UX quad (naturals only) breakdown over the last 6 years. Over 90% of these should be vultures.

Bonus Deuces 2
Bonus Deluxe 7
Bonus Poker 0
Double Bonus 9
Double Double Bonus 68
Deuces Wild 13
Jacks or Better 20
Joker Poker 6 (includes 1 quint)
Triple Double Bonus 2
Total 127

UX straight flush breakdown
DDB 5 (includes 2 Royals)
Deuces Wild 1
Total 7 (includes 2 Royals)

There are a bunch. They bounce from machine to machine like a hot potato.

I will keep plugging away, as I'm curious to see how long this will last.
Well, it did not last forever, as I finally hit four deuces, drawing to three, somewhere in my 41st session. It was my fourth time drawing to three, so I'd whiffed some 38 times on that particular draw before connecting. And, I had played more than 40000 hands without hitting deuces.

None of this really means much. I posted this because there seems, among some, to be a tendency to blame bad luck streaks on other than simple randomness.

The two terms are: vulturing and dud streaks.

Vulturing - is when a person checks all of the Ultimate X games for game multipliers left by previous players. When said person finds a multiplier they will insert enough money to play this multiplier off in hopes of winning more money than the cost of the play.

Dud streaks - is a term used by some players to describe when a number of hands get played in succession which produce no winning hands.

Vulturing doesn't just apply to UX, but any slot/VP machine where players abandon positive EV situations.

VP could include Multi-Streak (no, not Multi-Strike), progressives. Some examples of slots are must hit by jackpots, Scarab, Golden Egypt just to name a few.

Do some poking around the net and you'll find many more examples.

Thanks for the information. It is not useful to me though as I do not vulture. Do you have any examples of dud streaks?
