Ultimate X Poker is, without a doubt, the world’s most popular video poker game. In this book, you will learn more about how to play this fascinating game and how its history changed the gaming industry.
Ultimate X is one of the early games that offered multipliers as a bonus feature to attract players. For this game, winning hand multipliers are awarded on the same hand position for the next game on a machine. The max bet per hand increases from 5 credits to 10 credits to activate multipliers. Max bet must be played to activate the Ultimate X multipliers feature.
The success of Ultimate X led to the development of several spinoff games based on the Ultimate X multiplier concept. Each of these games is successful in its own right, but not nearly to the degree Ultimate X is. These spinoff games include: Ultimate X Bonus Streak, Ultimate X Gold, Ultimate X Single Hand, Ultimate X Spin, and Ultimate X Wheel. Each of these spinoff games is described in the book.
I’ve written this book for those video poker fanatics who enjoy exploring this industry's history and behind-the-scenes workings. I do not work in the industry and have no personal knowledge of how it thrives. The information I present in this book was developed from personal experience and research I conducted using publicly available documents and websites.
