Sorry it took so long to find out this answer. I just
went back to Sycuan and found that the name of the
company that makes these machines is Leisure Time
Tech. Pot O Gold is one of their machines as well.
These machines are very popular in the Indian casinos
in the San Diego area. People love to play Keno on
these machines, but they aren't worth much for VP, if
you ask me. The paytables are terrible, they are very
slow, and many are auto-hold set to hold any three to
a flush on DW. Plus, every time you win, you have to
choose whether to double or to take the win. Problem
is, unlike IGT machines, the HOLD button turns into
DOUBLE after a win, so you have to remember to switch
to the other side of the screen to pick STAND.
Tricky.

Can you describe the progressive game more, i.e. the
game logo / artwork. I suspect the game you described
is Pot of Gold since the company is known for horrible
progressive vp games, i.e a 6/5 JOB with quads paying
15 for 1.

think he realized that the Royal on these machines is
progressive and it resets at $500 I believe. For a
bet of $1 through $25 per hand, the Royal Flush payout
was the same, at the time I was there tonight, a
whopping $530 for a royal with $20 (80 quarters) bet."

I may be good at math, but 2 and 2 have always given me problems.
