A random multiplier pops up before your hand. You decide whether to pay extra and activate it. Here's what you need to know.
Super Times Pay is single-hand video poker with an optional multiplier feature layered on top. Before each hand is dealt, the machine may randomly offer you a multiplier — 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, or 10x.
To activate the multiplier, you pay an extra coin (so 6 coins instead of the usual 5). If you accept, whatever you win on that hand is multiplied. If you decline, you play the hand normally for 5 coins.
The multiplier offer doesn't happen every hand — it comes up randomly. When it does, you have a brief window to decide before the cards are dealt.
The Super Times Pay multiplier is designed to be a fair deal for the player. The cost of activating it (one extra coin) is offset by the multiplied payout when you win. Even the lowest multiplier (2x) at its offered frequency makes accepting a positive decision. It's one of the few "side bet" options in video poker that isn't a trap.
A 10x multiplier on a Royal Flush is life-changing. Even a 4x on a Full House is a noticeable bump. The multiplier makes already good hands much better.
Multiplied sessions are more volatile than standard play. You'll have stretches where multipliers offer constantly and you win big — and stretches where they're quiet and you grind at base payouts.
The hold strategy doesn't change based on whether a multiplier is active. Play your normal optimal strategy — the multiplier just scales up the result.
Super Times Pay is available at most major casino operators, especially in Las Vegas and at larger regional casinos. It's commonly found on IGT Game King machines alongside other variants. Look for it in the video poker section — it's usually labeled clearly on the game screen.
Online versions exist too, though the multiplier mechanic may be implemented differently depending on the software provider.
Because multiplier hands cost 6 coins instead of 5, your hourly spend is slightly higher than standard play. Plan for it — especially if multipliers come up frequently. The variance is real and sessions can swing significantly in either direction.
