$1028 triggered a jackpot? Did they try to take taxes for that or just want to hand pay you for tips?

Got a $250 handpay for 4 deuces at a casino once. I would wager the combined net worth of all the customers in there were less then $250.

One of the casinos that I was consulting with during opening was going to set their handpay amounts at $500. When I questioned management they said that is what the floor attendants recommended. I shook my head in disbelief and we compromised at $1000. That particular casino doesn't issue W-2G's.

Some places are smaller and like this. As a matter of fact on some machines in this property 100 dollars will trigger a jackpot. This is how they try to compensate hourly pay with tips I suppose. You can play the 10/7 and hit 800 dollar aces on dollars without a lockup but most of the older machines will lock up at 100, 160, 200, 250, 500 and so forth. Just the way it is. You can either not toke or you can get friendly and toke and take advantage of some of the perks that goes along when you get to be a regular. You could be a total stiff and become a regular and still get the perks but why would you want all that hate. Better to be loved than hated. Recently a lot of hustlers in town are no mailed or 86'd from many properties because they don't want to play nice. I understand playing hard ball with the staff if they want to play hard ball but I find it better to not be barred from any property.

I used to get upset about the 500 dollar hand pay and an old friend of mine years ago told me that if you want to play a full pay game that nobody else spreads anymore than you have to give up that 5 dollar bill when you lock up your machine. That's the price you pay for playing over there and after many years now I agree. It takes about 1 dollar off an hour so instead of 20 dollar avg I get 19 when I play over there.

I would never tip on a $100 VP hit, especially if I'm playing .25 or above. Instead of the "hate" I'll simply take my business elsewhere.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Shouldn't be taxes. I thought a good amount of progressive machines (especially on older systems) were hand paid regardless of the amount. I wouldn't know from experience though. :(

Haha I actually had 3 royals before this bad run in less than a full cycle so I shouldn't be complaining, it has just been a long time since the last one.
Edit: Also I can't complain cause I mostly play on quarters but of those three royals in the short period one was on dollars and one was .50

Yeah, that's opposite of my story. Bigger denoms do matter. I've been in casinos since 2001, but I've taken breaks, especially before 2011.

Feb. 2011...1 penny royal on ten lines at Blue Chip in IN ($40)
Feb. 2012...dealt penny royal on 6 lines ($240) at Flamingo...First Vegas Royal...still lost for trip.
Sep. 2012...royal at 2c level ($80) at Tunica Roadhouse.
Aug. 2015...5600 credit royal ($56) at Linq.
Sep. 2015...8000 dime royal (Gold Strike Tunica)...$800...biggest hit ever...finally
Mar. 2016...1 nickel royal on 5 lines at River City ($200)...first MO royal in 15 years of gambling!

Hoping my next big hit is a handpay!

I couldn't play that small for fear of hitting a royal for so little. I would lose my mind if I hit a royal betting pennies or nickels.

Odds are high but like dancer and others have said. Most hands that you are dealt are one in hundreds of thousands to one - looking in reverse

Yeah, obviously I'm talking about it happening before it actually does. I'll gladly take royals over deuces :-)

Here's another odd fact about the one tonight. It was my fourth "three to a royal" in a row. The cash out about was $1014.25. Not 2 minutes earlier on the last bet, got a four of a kind followed by a wild royal on the next hand then started losing again until this royal. Had I not gotten the quads, I was about to go and eat.

Running good. Probably a total of less than 2000 hands since the last royal last Friday night. I can't sit on an upright for more than an hour at a time. Plus I have time constraints for other things. I'm not there long.

I hate imgur. They always want to link you to a webpage. Also once my anti-virus went off from it.

Great hit! I'm quite jealous!

Here is the pic for others' convenience. I opened the pic in a new tab by right-clicking and then copied THAT hosting address.
