Harrah's Joliet - Tier Credit Multiplier Event, 3-27-26

[Tedlark]

So, along with some other people who have posted, I took advantage of a CET 10X Tier Credit multiplier event on Saturday, March 27, 2026. I arrived at about 11:00 pm and settled in front of one of my usual machines and began playing ACJP. Within the first 15 minutes I was dealt 4 to a straight flush and after drawing, I landed the needed card on 4 hands, giving me a nice welcome.

Continuing on the same machine, I wasn't doing much on either ACJP or TDB so I switched to Double Super Times Pay, and:

This machine started to take winnings back in chunks so I decided to see what other machines I could pick on. Harrah's Joliet has installed several new games, including at least 2, Major Multipliers machines so I settled in front of one to play it in a B&M casino. At the .25 denomination, TDB 10 play, I was hoping to nail the elusive 100x multiplier but the best I could manage was a couple 30x multipliers for 3oak. Pretty cool though, getting paid 300 credits for trips. Lost $400.00 in this machine and sat down in front of a Dream Card machine. Began play at the .25 denomination level, TDB 10 play, lost $500.00 in that machine.

Wanting to keep my rep, I went into the High Limit room and sat down in front of an All Star III machine and began playing Joker Poker at $2.00 denomination. Much to my dismay, after getting paid 35 credits for a full house, I checked the pay tables and found it was not ACJP and "only" paid 1,000 credits for 5oak. I switched to TDB and within a couple minutes of switching, I got:

Note that I held A-J suited (I believe the right hold) and I caught quad Aces on one hand and also filled in 4 to the Royal on the first hand. Wondering to myself if I would have caught a kicker if I did not hold the J. Oh well.

Still itching to play ACJP at the $2.00 denomination, I found a 10 play in High Limit that had ACJP on it. Finally!

I did also hit 2 quads at the $2.00 denomination while waiting to get paid.

I was dealt quads 4 other times while playing ACJP at the $1.00 and $2.00 denominations and missed on those.

After almost being a losing session, thanks to the 5oak I caught late in the night, it turned into a nice 5 figure profit and I earned over 7,000 tier credits. I know the maximum multiplier was capped at 4,000 credits but if I stopped when I hit the 4,000 credits mark, I would have missed out on hitting the big one.

Gives me some cabbage for a possible stop at Bizzaro World next week while I'm on the east coast.

Are you saying Tedlark still isn’t 7‑Star yet? I can’t imagine he plays this much and, after all these years, still hasn’t made it to 7‑Star.

But @Tedlark, there are better games in your casino: 98.98% DDB and 98.91% DW. DW looks like the smarter choice for rewards and points because it has much lower variance, and it pays nearly 2% more than that AC Joker game you chose. I’m sure the five‑of‑a‑kind feels great, but what if you hit a royal? And this AC Joker game which pays only 97% is notorious hard to play accurately, your return could be as low as 95-96% range. Over time, this 3% difference will grind you down. You won't feel it today coz you hit the 4000 jackpot, but it's the boiling‑frog effect.

But congrats.
