$1,800 for max bet on all 3 lines.

You're right.My mistake.

It's photoshopped. The conflict between the shown amounts would not work on an IGT machine. When a win is hit the display selects one of the possible win amounts and displays that exact combination of numbers in the jackpot box. The verification process includes matching the jackpot box amount with the possible win amount highlighted. The two amounts cannot be different... that's a crucial part of the verification process. But in this case, we are shown two widely differing # of digits. It can't be explained away due to lack of space because there is still plenty of space in the possible win boxes. The win was $20,000 and the photoshopper simply cut and pasted the zeroes. Yes, it's photoshopped, but at least an above average effort, and an A for imagination and creativity.

Check my post called Ameristar Jackpot. Guy was playing Double Super Times pay. He was dealt AAAA4 playing Triple Double Bonus and had a 10X multiplier. That's a nice $100,000!

Largest jackpot I have ever witnessed was $100K, a lady had hit a royal flush whiling playing $125 a hand vp. I was amazed to see it and was talking with a casual friend that worked at the casino who said the lady had nothing in the big bag she was carrying but her ID, a carton of cigarettes and $100 bills. The friend at the casino said she had played the same game the previous night and had suck more than $60K into that machine, they had no idea how much she had invested the day she finally hit the royal. Big jackpots in most cases mean very little because most of the time the player has spent dearly to hit them.

Lots of nice hits here. Saw a 100k hit a month or so ago at Harrahs Joliet. STP - 5 play. 20x dealt royal on a quarter machine. Personally my biggest hit was over New years at Bellagio $5 progressive royal for just under $23,000. 2 hours before we boarded a plane back home.

Many years ago, maybe 15-20 years. Tropicana AC had a bank of .25 quarter 9/6 DB progressives with a top progressive for a sequential royal in each suit. Saw an older man with a confused look on his face holding a large cardboard check for something like $250,000 plus dollars getting his picture taken. His expression was priceless with the flashes going off. "What the heck just happened"

If those are the machines I'm thinking of, they were called Pokermania, and they were attached to most of the AC casinos (not all). I did see a senior gentleman hit the sequential jackpot at Caesars for about $60,000, and he was carrying on and complaining because he was on Social Security, and he'd have to pay big taxes on his win. So who told him to play? People were really pi$$ed at him!! (including me)!

I don't know if it's true but I was told that SS was being or was going to be taxed, any truth to that?
