hm. i've been dealt the royal three times in this game, twice on five play,
and once on spin poker version, all three times *not* on first line
(dammit!), and all three times was paid the 60,000 credits regardless of what
else i got on the redraw, as is true with any hand dealt on any line--that's
the point of the game.

My husband was dealt one on the top in Mesquite a few years ago, it didn't
lock up, it was the top had so he lost in all on the re draw. If dealt on
the bottom you would end up with 72k credit, his was in nickels, or $3k.
It was basic double pay, not spin.

Subject: [vpFREE] Does Double Pay Lock Up?
Last year I had my one and only dealt royal. I couldn't mess it up,
because the machine locked up before I could press any buttons.
Now, on to my question.
Double Pay is a game that pays you for the hand you are dealt as well as
what you draw.
There are Double Pay Spin machines at the Mirage and Venetian, among other
places. The options at both those Strip properties are too short-pay for
most vpFREE members to consider.
In the Double Pay Spin game you actually see what was dealt on all three
lines. But you then only hold or discard from the center line as in any Spin
machine. So I'm wondering what happens when there is a dealt royal and it
isn't on the center line.
A dealt royal on $1 Double Pay Spin pays $60,000 and far exceeds any drawn
royal paying $4000. Most machines "lock up" if a royal is dealt. But if
the dealt royal were on anything but the center line, what would the machine
do? If there is no lockup and you then proceed to draw based on the center
line you could conceivably get no paying hands. But then an attendant
arrives at a machine seeing no winning hands, yet a "JACKPOT $60,000" flashes on
the screen.
I know this is a rarity, but there might be one of you who could share
his/her experience. I'm just wondering when the mechanic is called over to
verify the jackpot if the casino staff is a bit confused. Perhaps the mechanic
would be able to put the screen back to see the original dealt hands?
Anybody know?
