Re: Largest Jackpot witnessed in Casino on Video Poker
I saw a person hit $109,??? at the Borgata several months ago. He was playing 25¢ Joker Poker Triple Play. IGT runs this progressive in AC.

It wasn't the largest jackpot I ever saw, but one of the most enjoyable I ever witnessed happened to a guy sitting next to me playing Keno at the Tampa Hard Rock. He was a younger black guy dressed in working clothes who looked to be playing on his lunch break. I found out later that he was betting 7 numbers at a dollar a time. He was playing quietly until he suddenly jumped up and started hollering about something. I looked at his screen and he had hit all seven numbers for $7K. He was so happy that everyone in the casino was smiling. He called his wife, his mom and his entire family while he waited to get paid. There are a lot of jerks in a casino and it was great to see a really nice guy get a hit like that!

Last year in year Caesars high limit room in AC I saw a gentleman hit for $80,000, he was playing $100 machine DB, and caught 4 aces. On a side note, the last time I was there in Dec., the machine still had an out of service sign on it.

Largest I ever saw on the machine I was sitting at
was STP 10-play, 2222A dealt, multiplier of 10, in Laughlin years ago. Largest I have ever seen was $400K (twice) in the high limit room, both times on JOB. But best I ever saw was four players on a bank of four machines in high limit who, over the course of less than an hour hit $50K three times and $40K once.

My cousin reports last month she saw a woman in Borgata playing 25 cent 10 line STP DDB....the lady was dealt absolute crap and tossed the whole shebang.....she had a multiplier of 8......the 10 complete redraws she received had among them two full houses, quad 4s withouta kicker and one flush.......and two hands with a pair of jacks or better! think about that......she tosses everything and gets on the draw four made hands (including a premium quad) and a couple freebies to boot!She gets a fat "minor jackpot" of about $1,050 or so......!!!!Not a "HUGE" or biggest jackpot contender, but still a great example of turning shiiiite into gold.....or something like that!Anyone ever had a similar result ?? where they tossed everything and recieved on the draw something great???

Does this qualify?

I would say that qualifies. I once threw away all the cards and got 4 aces on Bonus Deluxe for 400 credits.

I've got "throwaway" deuces while playing deuces twice in my life. Considering how much I actually play deuces, it's probably happened almost 2 times more than it should have.

[QUOTE=spxChrome]Guy sitting right behind me hit this at the Harrahs in NOLA.
yikes.......that almost seems unfair!!  but then again the player was wagering 125 bucks a deal so......no wonder caesars is bankrupt lol! I'd also wager that the actual machine was promptly shut down for "maintenance" or weekly cobweb tests or some crap.....[/QUOTE]
I kid you not and I swear on a stack of bibles, our local casino put one of these mutli-hands machines in and within the first few days of operation the machine was hit for the same exact thing, the machine was removed from the casino, never to be seen again.
