... the explanation of the multi-hand play. This must mean, it seems to me, that you don't actually "see" 100 different "hands" when you push the draw button. Just the total payout. Which to me still means you've really only played one "hand" on which to exercise "perfect play", though you "played" it 100 times.

I do get the significance of the higher number of "hands" increasing the probability of hitting the royal flush.

I don't get this, though, Jim:

>> Also, the longer you take to play hands, even with
>> perfect play, the lower your expected return is.

Do the payouts actually decrease, the longer you take to decide? Or are you referring to the expected return per increment of playing time (e.g., net return per hour)?

Sounds boring to me, too!! ----- jim o\-S
