Quick Quads A video poker game in which the wagering of a sixth coin (assuming the base game is a five coin max game) triggers a new mode in which two cards may be summed together and used to form a four of a kind or quad (with three other cards). The return of a Quick Quads video poker game is always better then the return of the base game. Quick Quads (like Super Times Pay) is a new video poker game that is actually just a variation on existing games. Quick quads machines offer the chance at more four of a kinds through a slight rule tweak. If you have three of a kind twos-tens, and the fourth and fifth cards add up to match the three of a kind card, you qualify for a quad payout.

Somebody has to take credit, or know who designed this.
I had a hand tonight, playing 600 credits on hundred-play TDB+QQ. Dealt 4 deuces. 20 hands w/K, 80 hands w/o. 78000 credits. What a rush. But the fun is holding low trips + QQ kicker; had 4's with an ace. Got 17 QQ and 5 4WAK for whatever. And the guy just keeps shouting 'Quick Quads!' Dang, that game is something.
If you love the sound of 'quick quads' you should play 'Dream Card' and then you'll fall in love with 'Dream Card Winner'
Eh I like QQ better. Dream card is just like regular VP except you pay extra for the best possible card. QQ is definitely unique and requires more thought than usual.
As for who invented the game, not sure babs. I'd assume someone at action gaming. But QQ didn't take off as much as I'd hope because most VP players don't understand it, or care to understand it. I've seen multiple people play QQ with normal VP strategy because they didnt realize what they were playing.
TDB isn't a game to play in a casino though, it's never 99%+ since 9/7 TDB doesn't exist as an available option on the game.
I really need to get back to Ellis Island, so I can play this again for nickels.Edit: And I like the QQ audio better than Dream Card too. But I forgot there was a voice in that game too...lol Was nice to hear when it gave me a dealt 4th deuce at Manadalay last year...lol
I don't exactly know what quick quads is... Care to post a paytable / returns or link ? Is it on WoO ? Is it commonplace to be at pretty much all casinos ?

Thanks. I don't recall seeing that but I haven't been looking for it either ! I usually play plain old JoB or Dueces Wild.Is it commonplace to be at pretty much all casinos ?
Not really. Especially at newer casinos. Super times pay/ultimate X is nearly at every casino to compare.
Most people I've seen play QQ get upset they are losing a ton of money, and they always wonder, 'why does the machine keep saying QUICK QUADS!'. I explained this to an old lady once and she was surprised that's how the game works. When it comes to the gambling public I quickly change my mind about how these casinos must be struggling from all the AP'ing going on when people will gladly pay extra money to lose.
Station Casino Quick Quads
I created and put out a video poker game years ago and it failed miserably. The reason I believe it failed was because the strategy was very none conventional and players played it with standard video poker strategies and they lost their butts. My game played at about 90% return with conventional strategy.
Quick Quads (like Super Times Pay) is a new video poker game that is actually just a variation on existing games. Quick quads machines offer the chance at more four of a kinds through a slight rule tweak. If you have three of a kind twos-tens, and the fourth and fifth cards add up to match the three of a kind card, you qualify for a quad payout.
For example, 6-6-6-4-2 would qualify as quad sixes because the four and two combine to make another six. Remember, this rule tweak only applies for quad deuces through tens. Aces count as one. Here is an example hand that would make Quick Quads:
(This hand is quad sixes, because the four and two combine to give you another six)
Games with Quick Quads
Like I mentioned before, quick quads really isn't a game of its own - rather, it's a modification on existing games. For example, you might find a 9/6 Quick Quads Jacks or Better game. This would be a normal full pay game, but would offer the quick quads tweak.
Statistical Differences
As I'm sure you can imagine, Quick Quads games have significantly different odds and strategies than normal video poker games. The Quick Quads feature increases the frequency of Quads by about 2.7 times over a normal game. As a result, Quick Quads games with the same pay tables as non-Quick Quads games pay out much more.
Strategy Differences
Besides the statistical differences, there is also a vast difference in the strategy needed to play Quick Quads. Almost every hand that includes a pair, three of a kind, or a full house needs to be re-evaluated to see what the correct play really is. For example, it may be worthwhile to break up full houses to pursue four of a kind.
If you are dealt 6-6-6-K-K you have to decide if you hold the sixes and give up the full house. However, if you have 8-8-8-4-4 you wouldn't want to break up the full house, because the two fours you are discarding hurt your chances of making Quick Quads.
We'll leave a full discussion of quick quads strategy for another time, but the main thing to realize here is that the proper strategy is very different, and very complicated. However, complicated strategy can actually be a good thing for a professional player, because the casino can afford to offer a higher payout percentage if the game is hard to master.

Then, if you can master the game, you'll likely see it stick around for a long time while the other players are making mistakes and losing their money. If you'd like to start learning quick quads strategy, click here -> Comparing Quick Quads
Quick Quads Pay Tables
Since Quick Quads offers increased four of a kind frequency, some casinos choose to lower the pay tables to compensate for the increased in quads. However, most casinos use the same pay schedules simply because the strategy is so hard that almost all players fail to capitalize on the increased opportunities.
This way they can advertise an extremely high payout, right up to 100%, without really offering that high of a payout to the majority of players. Most players make enough mistakes that they're really only returning 98%-99%, which is low enough that the casino makes plenty of money.
