What would your game of choice be for double jackpot promo (No VP) and you only get 1 chance at it.

My question would be what constitutes as a jackpot? If it is a common one that is just any pay over $1200 I would probably chooses a high denomination Keno game on a machine where you can play multiple cards.
You can't know everything, but you can know anything.

Makes sense. I would have to confirm if Keno is allowed since it is only offered on VP multi-game machines

More info is needed, especially regarding the rules. For example, and most importantly, what's the max amount they will double? Assuming a high or no limit, then it's more likely that your game of choice is going to be dictated by whatever their max denominations/limits are.

I have run into a few Double Jackpot promotions that were not that great given the available games, rules, and restrictions. I.e, low denominations, reel and video slots only, must hit within a certain limited range without going over.

Whats your bankroll and risk torance?

Are E-Tables allowed, or is it reel and video reel slots only? Are progressive slots allowed?

Can you forgo the jackpot bonuses on smaller jackpots and wait for a bigger jackpot, and then get the bonus?

Is the casino known for generous free play? If so, one might want to factor that in when deciding what to play. Perhaps there's a +EV or close variable state vulture slot or must hit that would be great when adding in the JP bonus.

As a general rule of thumb, you're looking for a situation where most of the payback of the game comes from one big hit or the game has a low HA with nicely sized jackpots.

Scout scout scout, test games, scout more, poke games, test, think, analyze, scout more, and then poke more games, think and analyze more. Look for new and unusual games. Don't assume all games on a bank of like machines are the same.

Perhaps they have a High limit BUY A BONUS slot game.

I've used a blackjack game on a Game King with $600 bets to force a hand pay. But make sure that is allowed.

That would be great if they didn't limit the number of double pays, or if they limited the max bonus allowed to not much more than $1,200.

Even if they allowed multiple jackpot bonuses, it normally doesn't take long for them to stop BJ or any easy-to-hit jackpot situations. They soon realize they have been taken advantage of, and now you could have a target on your back while cutting off anything you play. Oftentimes, you're better off with fewer large jackpots vs a lot of small ones.
