Bonus Payouts On Handpays

[mammajamma]

When I clicked on the link, it read " UP TO  $1500"This could be a spin of a wheel or whatever to determine your bonus amount.

 Im no math wiz by a longshot and Im not an ap, but logic says nowhere is just going to give out $1500 in cash for each of 5 $1250 ddb quads. As a previous poster suggested, call first before going.

This is part of their second year anniversary. The whole month is filled with deals and promotions. They have been running commercials about this here in Michigan. I have called and spoken to them regarding the deal. Everything looks great so far but I still need to fill in the details.
 
I chose $5 DDB as it would get me to the $1200 handpay in the best possible way (quads). I am open to other suggestions? There is a limit of 5 of these special bonus pay outs though.
 
If everything works out the way it should I'm just looking for the best bang for my buck.
 
Thanks!

Where do you keep getting "$1200 handpay" from, it says "jackpots" on their site? Even so, how many times does anyone play vp and get 5 quads in a reasonable amount of time that keeps them above water? Ill bet the bankroll required to avoid wiping out is well over $250000. Recomendation from backsider: STAY AWAY!!

I'm sorry for the confusion. Any pay out of $1200 or more is considered a handpay for tax purposes right? On their website is says a jackpot of $1200 or more which is a hand pay. I know you can have a slot rep watching you play and just letting the credits roll while you play. You can catch up on all of the paperwork later. I have seen this done in Vegas many times.
 
Do you really think this is a bad bet? I was thinking this was an excellent promotion but wanted to run it by the experts first. I am open to all suggestions and criticism as this promotion is this Friday, August 5.

It states  Jackpots.    On a $5 single line JOB VP machine, a straight flush is a handpay and so is the Royal Flush....but only the Royal Flush is the jackpot, assuming jackpot means the top most award for that game.  Most of these promotions are very carefully worded so one shouldn't try to twist things around to make them more attractive.I wouldn't sink a large bankroll into this promotion just on the fact that it states "up to $1500" bonus. It may be as little as $30 or anywhere in between up to $1500. (It would really suck if it were as low as $5)One of Harrah's casinos had several promos where you were eligible to receive an additional $1200  bonus when you hit a W2-G handpay. This specifically stated handpay if I remember correctly.The facts were that they gave you a voucher for each handpay you received on the first set day of the promo. Then you had to return on another set day and when you got another W2-G, you could use one of your vouchers to cash in and get the bonus $1200. Getting the first handpay on the original day made you "eligible" to get the $1200 after you hit a second handpay on the second visit.These marketing people are usually very carefull to word these promos wisely in order to make a profit for the casino.

I understand what you are saying and I need to look further into this. The casino has told me it has to be max coins and any jackpot $1200 or more. It doesn't have to be the top paying jackpot. This is why I was thinking of hitting quads on a $5 video poker machine which would yield you $1250.(250-1) My logic was the closer to a $1200 hand pay you got the better overall win percentage. Also winning a $1200 jackpot should be easier than winning a $10,000 jackpot.
 
That Harrah's promotion didn't sound good to me.

Actually, I do a lot of questions thru e-mails so I have a printable response.

I called them, its too good to be true. They immediatly said anytime you get a handpay $1200 or more then you get $1500 if your Sizzlin or Blazin. I still dont believe it, it means four 5s on $5 ddbp pays $2750 or 550 credits. Every time and they do this all day Friday. Why dont they just hand everybody who walks in a $100 bill instead?
 The "up to" refers to those who hold beginner slot cards get $500 in slot credit but those who hold the top tiers get the $1500.

>>I called them, its too good to be true. They immediatly said anytime you get a handpay $1200 or more then you get $1500<<Now they left out the words "up to" $1500....so I'd get that in an e-mail, too.Also, I may just show up in the future just to play that DDBP if four 5s pays 540 credits! What's the rest of that paytable like?Hope everyone here who takes advantage of this fabulous offer will walk out ready to retire!
