If you’re in this mode and you make a winning hand, that hand will then have a multiplier on any winnings on the following deal. The size of these multipliers depend on the game you are.
In this case, it shows that sometimes, if the multipliers are large enough on the current hand, the payback for current hand can overwhelm the payback on future hands with a larger multiplier if you went a different route.
Hope that makes sense... I'm working through this time of analysis myself, at the moment.
Playing 5 coin is a poor choice, unless you're only vulturing. The pay tables on UX are inferior to 'regular' VP because the multipliers add EV.
while the multipliers add a bit of EV.... the pay tables are not necessarily inferior.

They are where I play. Really poor, especially in the lower denoms, down in the 96% range.
rsanctuary said hopping between 10 and 5 coin bets would be a very bad way to play. However, this is not the case.*If it's a 96% base paytable and it adds an extra 1% when betting 10 coins (it's usually less than 1%, but just to make it easy), if you switch back n forth, it doesn't really matter, as you'll be averaging about 96.5% payback.
However, that doesn't take into account the fact you're playing twice as much and only getting an extra 1% back. Then again, are you looking at it in terms of coin in or # of hands?Playing 100 hands on $1 10-play (make the math easy), you're looking at:
- Always bet 5 coins/line: $50 * 100 = $5,000 in action. $5,000 * -0.04 = -$200 EV
- Switch between 5 or 10 coins/line: $75*100 = $7,500 in action. $50*50*-0.04 + $100*50*-0.03 = -$250 EV
- Always playing 10 coins/line: $100*$100 = $10,000 in action. $10,000 * -0.03 = -$300 EV
And if switching between 5 coins and 10 coins every other game is going to slow you down significantly, which it likely will, then it makes it that much better (in a way), especially if you're playing sh** paytable games. You'll play longer with less money and get more free drinks and whatnot....but of course, not necessarily as fun since you're obviously playing slower.

And hell, it probably is even better considering you likely don't know how to play UX properly. What do you do with an average 1.6x multiplier on 7/5 DDB when you're dealt a two pair with aces?
