PICTURE: $240,000 Dealt RF
Not that I can afford to play it, but where do they have $100 FPDW?

You can tell where my head is ... I didn't even notice the game
paytable. My attention was drawn by the $28K in credits on the meter
before the hit -- wondered just how the meter advanced quite that far
without a few W-2G hits being settled out. (Those are generally paid
as toted up on the clip board and not simply left on the meter for a
cash out, right?)

High-denomination players can get a dedicated slot attendant to write down
taxables as they occur rather than have the machine lock up.

I too wondered if it might be late April fools joke ... that someone
doctored an earlier photo of a dealt RF. But I checked and that
sequence of cards is not there. So it appears this is a 3 bet max
game ... $100, $200, and $300 and the max bet pays 800 to 1 like a
normal max bet. Those 288 credits left ($28,800 or 96 games) must be
the stake left when they made the hit. The only larger jackpot photo
I saw was the $637,405 Wheel of Fortune hit in Sept 2005.
Congratulations!!!!

I grasp the sheeted tallying of wins, the player signing for the
accumlation of $1200+ wins at the end of the session. Still, I fully
expect this entails a machine lock up on such wins to ensure that they
were tabulated ... it would merely require a quick key turn to reset
for continued play.
The uncertainty in my mind is whether such wins would be settled in
cash at the time of each, or if the credits would be left intact to
accumulate as well. If settled with each reportable hit, the meter
doesn't even rank as improbable -- it's impossible.
I lack the high limit room savvy to know which is the case. Someone
should be able to set me straight in a sec. In any event, while this
is the source of my immediate doubt, there are others. Bear in mind
that I expect I've otherwise established a track record of being a
rather trusting (if not naive) fellow; skepticism isn't my strong suit.
That said, 5+ years ago I might accept the existance of a $300 wager
FPDW machine without a second thought. But in a day and age where
Coast can no longer deal with offering up $.25 FPDW, and of a moderate
drove of play gangbangers who'll beat the bejesus out of any good play
on shared bankrolls (and just half a dozen decently bankrolled $5
players might be sufficient), the sustained existance for any period
of such a machine lies outside the realm of my general "yes Virginia,
there is a utopia on earth" mentality.
Still, possessing my own "more things in heaven and earth" philosophy,
I'm sure I have the capacity to accept even this eighth casino blunder
of the world.

That method is known as "key to credit" or "jackpot to credit." But the
method I was talking about involves no lockup at all (unless the win is over
some threshold where it needs extra verification, usually $50k or so).
<<The uncertainty in my mind is whether such wins would be settled in cash

If the wins are paid in cash, the only difference from the normal procedure
is the W-2G accrual log. All three methods are in use at various properties.
<<If settled with each reportable hit, the meter doesn't even rank as

Machines can be set to allow a very large number of credits to be loaded
using tickets (regulations prohibit loading more than $3000 in cash, but
this does not apply to tickets). Those credits could have been the remains
of a $30,000 starting bankroll.

It was a high limit player, who is a friend of mine, that got
the royal and sent me the picture, to be posted anonymously.
I'm sure that the royal actually happened, as depicted in the
picture.

The 800 coin payout on a 3 coin bet has gotten me curious. If one were
to make little tiny $100 bets per hand would those pay 800 for RF as
well? Anyone know? M

The picture shows the payoff for 1- and 2-coin bets (as well as the
full/3-coin bet). For the royal flush/no deuces, they are at 250-to-1.

You'll note in the photo that 1 or 2 coins wagered pays short coin
(250:1) ... or are you also suffering AOL-itis

I'll take the bet -- whaddaya say, $300 even money? Not offering this
up other than a simple observation ... I don't think we'd get a
non-promo peak of this were that the case
btw, the MDP hit (reproduced for the cover) was a 5-coin jumbo.

There is one RF now missing ... a sequential dealt RF playing 1 penny,
for a $2.50 win.

As someone who aspires to advantage play I will decline your kind
offer of a wager (LOL). Hmm I was way off, well it has been some
years since million dollar poker came out. You know a Casino could
wipe out a number of advantage players by putting a $100 FPDW like
this on the floor and letting those who can't resist gamble beyond
their bankroll. They would have to carefully screen out the users
who can actually afford it, though that couldn't be many.
