When you make a 5 coin bet on an IGT dollar 9/6 jacks and make a
royal flush, wowee!!! You're in the chips now, You just won
$4000!!! Well not actually. You see, you actually won just $3,995.
Your bet was returned plus the rest. Nevertheless you receive a W2G
stating that you hit a $4,000 jackpot.
When you make a 5 coin bet on a $5 demon 9/6 jacks and make a
straight flush, yippee!! You just won $1250. Well, not actually.
You won $1225. But the W2G you're gonna get will state that you hit
a $1250 jackpot.
When you make a 5 coin bet at $10 denom 9/6 jacks and hit a 4K,
yippee!!! You won $1250!!! Well, not actually. You won $1200
dollars. But the W2G will state that you hit a $1250 jackpot.
When you make a 5 coin bet on a $100 denom 9/6 jacks and make a three-
of-a-kind, well theres not so much yippee here if you can afford to
play this high. You got your $500 back plus another $1000. But the
W2G is going to state that you hit a $1500 jackpot. That's right, a
W2G for a lowly three-of-a-kind.
With all this TITO nowadays I keep waiting for a machine to mess up
and just rack up the credits when I hit something $1200 or higher but
it hasn't happened yet.
Now, in the case of the video blackjack found on some IGT multi-game
machines, I have never found one where one could bet more than twenty
dollars. A friend told me that he played $5 ten coin at Atlantis for
meal comp and spa and health club. But not long ago he told me they
cut it back to 4 coin.
In any case if you were to find one congigured for $5 denom one-
hundred coin bets and make a one-hundred coin bet and catch a
Blackjack without being pushed YIPPEE!!!! You just won $750 since
Blackjack pays 3 to 2!!! Alright!!! On to the next hand!!!
Well, not so fast. You see there is the little matter of the $500
you bet. The machine has to award you you're $500 bet back plus
$750. That totals to $1250. You are just gonna have to sit there
and wait on that W2G which will state that you hit a $1250 jackpot.
Maybe the machine next to you is open.
