Super 4 Progressive Blackjack

Quote: BleedingChipsSlowly

I expect it will be just like Mohegan Sun Connecticut: the Super 4 Progressive side bet is fixed and independent of table minimums. I'm surprised the bet amount isn't the same between Connecticut and Pocono so they could combine the bonus play.

Did you see it last week? It almost hit $1 million. It's back to just over 100k now. I still haven't played it and don't plan to. The million didn't entice me at all.

I did not visit last week, but I would have put up a nickle once or twice with the side bet at +EV. As I have written, so far I placed one bet and won the dealer-ace payout. I'm not planning on wagering again unless I see a +EV jackpot. I have noticed more Super 4 Progressive bets being placed. I haven't seen the jackpot above +700K yet, but I'm not at Mohegan Sun regularly this summer.

Super 4 shows up on every table at The D, downtown Vegas.

Sorry to be late to the party but I just did a full page on the Super 4. Both the version Miplet analyzed and one I saw somewhere in Vegas (as evidenced by the rule card under a pile of junk on my desk).

As usual, I welcome questions, comments, and especially corrections.

Thanks Wiz. I had a braino in my version 2. I forgot to remove an Ace as dealer hole cards for dealer Ace up. I updated my google doc. Will update my spreadsheet on my website soon.

You're welcome. You are always keeping me on my toes so I'm happy to return the favor.

At The D, Vegas, for a couple of days. There are 10 tables linked with Super 4 ($5 wager).

1/10/2017 8 PM meter $67,560
11PM meter $67,621

1/11/2017 10 Am meter $67,712
6:30 PM meter $67,767
8:30 PM meter $67,810

I did not see anyone played it.

What exactly is the house edge? When the meter increased $250 between 1/10 to 1/11, assuming a 50% meter contribution and 25% house edge, The D made $125 for yesterday with the progressive, 10 tables. This was not even enough to tip the dealers-dancers or pay the electric bills.

Just got back from Mohegan Sun in CT, the super 4 meter was over 1 million dollars. I played but no luck; someone did hit 10% of the jackpot.

That one gets hit all the time apparently.
I was there one night and it was hit for 400k.

So is the progressive bet worth playing for someone who goes to Mohegan maybe once a month. I've played for 8 hours straight and never got any decent payouts from it and probably was just giving away my profits from winning on the bet. There have been other times when I don't play it and I'll hit for three of a kind which pays out 750. Only thing is that I play two hand so I'm throwing away 10 bucks each hand. Every 10 hands I'm giving away 100 bucks which could potentially be my profits from winning on just the bet. That's why I don't play it. Even when I do hit for 750, I'm probably just breaking even due to giving away 10 dollars per hand. 75 hands of not winning on the progressive bet would be giving the 750 right back. That's why I don't play it cause I only gamble once a month or so. People who go everyday and play all day are the ones chasing this side bet. Not ur regular gambler who's just going to have a good time and win a few hundred bucks. Then again I was there the other day and I heard a 21 year old girl hit the 1.2 million jackpot on her second hand. Lol.
