Royal Flush Jackpot

[FAA]

A Caesars AC player last week won the Progressive Mega Jackpot of $804,942.60 for a Royal Flush! A tidbit for our resident Live Poker player.

Holy Smokes!! What denomination game?

IDK. Live poker is DB's milieu. He can offer a guesstimate.

So this person won this money playing Live Poker? Not videopoker? I was thinking video poker myself, clear as mud.

[FAA]

Yeah, from what I gather from the last poker jackpot hit of that size there. I even said Live in original post. Review, TL. Sound familiar?

[Tedlark]

You mean where you say: "A tidbit for our resident LIVE poker player?"

Through this we were supposed to determine that you were refering to LIVE poker?

First off, thanks FAA for this update..... I'm obviously not as up to speed on the happenings in AC's card rooms over the last four plus months compared to what I was doing the past four plus YEARS! Most of my live poker play from September 2016 to now has been a few local tournaments and several forays to the Connecticut casino behemoths (foxwoods and Mohegan sun)...My focus has been on other pursuits not related to gambling, and I am quite satisfied with the hiatus.

Still, the ongoing progressive card room jackpots that most large casinos in gambling markets have, like Vegas and AC, really are popular draws when they start reaching high levels of have not been hit in a long time! This obviously was the case with this AC jackpot for a Royal flush.

To answer your questions and anyone else's, the qualifying or valid denomination for such a jackpot for a player in a typical poker room can vary from casino to casino, but in the case of a Royal flush jackpot it most likely is something like $3-6 or $5-10 blinds, but can also be valid on specific days or time of day for cash games at the lower $2-5 or even $1-2 blinds!!!!   I'd need more details and info on this specific hit you are reporting, but what happens when someone catches a qualifying Royal flush is the lucky winner gets something like a little more than half the jackpot, the loser(s) in the hand against him gets a percentage, the other table players get a nice chunk, and then even Every other player in the card room playing cash games at the required stakes and who qualify based on their play at that time get a small award....Maybe 500 bucks for a jackpot this size!   Or maybe nothing....It's all very different and depends....


Now another more structured and predictable card room jackpot that is progressive is the poker Bad Beat jackpot which is self explanatory and is for very specific circumstances in very specific hands....Depending also on the card room there usually is a cash game bad beat jackpot , and more rarely, a tournament bad beat jackpot.


As for a specific poster given crap to FAA for supposedly not being "clear" in his original post, that's a crock of crapola. Anyone who is reasonable and who is not eager to just jump all over people for perceived errors should logically have seen and concluded that FAA was describing a card room live cash game poker situation.

Honestly, when was the last time, or even "the first time" ANYONE spoke of, or described, or alluded to any type of Video poker games with progressive jackpots with such an abdurdly huge jackpot, in AC of all places?!??   Duh

[Tedlark]

Hum, Huck Seed famously hit a PROGRESSIVE video poker jackpot for $640,000.00.

I'm not eager to jump all over people for perceived errors and I wasn't the only one who may have been a tad confused about this.

DaBurglar until FAA's 9:23 am post of 2/3/17 how could you have been sure that FAA was referring to YOU as "our resident LIVE poker player?"

Clear as mud.

Sorry missed the Live poker part.

Just a thought, but with the much discussed lack of royals in AC and other areas for Looooooong stretches I can see the possibility of a progressive royal jackpot growing to this level on a High Denom machine. Couldn't you?
