Highest Jackpot - Progressive aside?

Post by TripleTriple »

Lots of posts about the biggest jackpot you have won or seen, but I was wondering what the highest JP possible is out there. Not counting progressive payouts. I know there are $100 denominations so $400,000 is possible and I've seen some pictures. Are there hundred play at over $1? I've only seen Double Pay as high as $5, for 60,000 x5 = $320,000. I guess if you get dealt royal on UltX 10 play at 12X you get $480,000? Sequential Royal?

Some variants I don't play have higher royal payouts (Joker, etc), so I don't know if it's variant dependent or "gimmick game" dependent. Not a goal or mission, just curious. ;)

On this website, the Pro Option allows you to pick denominations up to $10 per coin. That being said, if you choose 10-play Double Super Times Pay and get a dealt royal flush with a deal multiplier, it will convert to 20x, for a jackpot of 4000 coins x 20 multiplier x 10 hands x $10 per "coin" = $8 million on a single play with no progressive jackpot.

I don't know if that denomination (or higher) is available in an actual casino for 10-play Double Super Times Pay.

You can also win 800,000 coins on Hundred Play with Super Times Pay with a Dealt Royal and a 2x multiplier. If you are playing Double Double Bonus, you can win over 1,000,000 coins on one play with a high multiplier and dealt aces, depending on how many kickers you draw. Certainly, theoretically you could draw a kicker on each hand, but the probability distribution would suggest a lower practical limit. It is more than 10 billion to one to draw more than 54 kickers, notwithstanding the probability to be dealt aces with no kicker and a high multiplier in the first place. I am not certain, but I believe that game limits the multiplier to 2x for Dealt Royals. I think I have seen 5x for Dealt Aces with a Kicker, moving the max up to 1,000,000 coins, but hands with Dealt Aces and no Kicker have a chance at the higher 8x and 10x multipliers.

A reasonable range of kickers drawn would be from 18 to 33. With a 10x multiplier, that would equate to
over 1,000,000 coins up to just shy of 1.2 million. The expected number of coins prior to the draw with a 10x multiplier is about 1.106 million coins.

I've never been able to win more than $400,000 in a casino. Very frustrating.

It's perhaps surprising how many of us are in that category!

The biggest I have seen posted anywhere was $800,000 for a dealt royal with the 20X on dollar DSTP at Horseshoe Hammond.

At least in Vegas, there exists 100 play $2. So, a dealt royal or AWAK would also be $800K.
