That's the difference between high variance and lower variance games. High variance it's harder to hit anything good, but when you do, it usually pays out better. Low variance, easier to hit but not so good on the payout.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have it both ways?
Although I've hit the feature on Tut and only gotten 5x my bet, so I guess I did have it both ways - just not the right way around!
Seriously though, I think that they probably changed that game because most of the games at 3Dice are high to very high variance and a lot of players wanted more lower variance games. You can't please everyone, but they're trying to please the majority. If they get a lot of feedback from people that they're not liking it they may change it back.
