BP with progressive is positive now in Ballys AC

Ballys AC.

The progressives of royal of A, B and C hands start at $1000, $1100 and $1200. Average is about 4800 credits.

Base game pays 99.57%.

Royal on all hands pays $13K. Assuming it's dealt one, the pay back is 13000 / 0.25 / 3 / 5 / 649740 = 0.53%. Adding other ways of hitting it, it should be 0.53% + *epsilon*

Total: 99.57% + 0.53% + epsilon > 100.1%

I won’t be in town for three more days! This is most untimely news. I have never played Triple Pay. But I sure like this number and would make an exception. BTW, probably better posted in the AC section.

Damn, forgot all about pursuing this! I spent fifty harrowing minutes there today before a $250 quad almost broke me even. I would have left broke.

Reset to $4K now. Someone hit it, not me.

I saw this one online. Whoever hit this may have used up his/her luck of the whole life... :D

Getting dealt 4 to royal and then complete royals on all 3 hands... the odds is about 1 in 287M.

Drawing three separate Ace of Diamonds is stupendously incredible.

I have seen someone next to me hit 2 out of 3 but never 3 out of 3. What incredible luck. If only those type of people didn't gamble. Maybe they could raise the pay tables for the rest of us.

That is incredible. The craziest thing I ever hit was on 3 line DDStud dollar machine playing deuces wild at a buck a line, quad deuces on 2 of the 3 lines when the fifth card was turned over.

Possibly one time where you'd dump a wild royal and hold the 4 to a royal?

Hell yes. You have three shots at the big one.
