Pai Gow Progressive Record?
It's linked amongst three properties and 9 tables.
Five aces has been hit about 7 times (to my recollection) since the 7 card.
Life changing dough for the person that hits it!

" Progressive Pai Gow Poker." This is basic pai gow poker with an added $5 side bet.
The following table shows the return table based on a breakeven meter of 20536.05 bet units, which for a $5 bet is $102,680.24. The house edge at all other times is 11.5428% less 1.1242% for every $10,000 in the meter."
Quote: ChesterDogHere is the Wizard's page on Pai Pow Poker side bets. In the section about Progressive Pai Gow Poker, he gives the breakeven point as $102,680.24 for a $5 bet.
Thanks guys. You should have given me the LMGTFY treatment since I was too lazy to check WoO first :)
Wow, that's a lower breakeven than I would have expected! Most pros probably not interested in it though, due to the extreme variance.

Quote: DeucekiesWhich progressive Pai Gow are we talking about here? If we're talking about Fortune Pai Gow Progressive, the break-even point is $679,171.90 for version 1, and $243,011.06 for version 2. Version 1 pays out the 100% for a natural 7-card, and version 2 pays out 100% for any 7-card.
It's version 2. The progressive is awarded for any 7-card straight flush with or without the joker.
It's a little over twice the break even point.Math doesn't have a "feeling"!
Quote: JBAt 34 hands per hour, it would take an average of 2 years, 3 months, 6 days, 16 hours, 47 minutes, and 54 seconds of non-stop play to hit the jackpot.
So, at that rate of 34 hands per hour, and 6 spots per game, and 9 games in action on a Friday/Saturday night from about 8:00 to 1:00, prime time hours...... That's almost 9200 hands dealt during just that time on those two days.... lol
But seriously, the last progressive was hit about 18 months ago... so we should see another one in about 9 months! Should be north of 1.8 million by then! :)
Quote: KonbuI was at silver legacy on 6/14 around 8PM, played earlier in the day and wanting to return to try my luck again but a filipina lady got a 4,5,6,7,8,Joker,10,J of spades and the screen said jackpot pending. It was around 210k. Then later the progressive amount rolled back to 60's k.
Bummer, I thought that one had my name on it! :)
Quote: IbeatyouracesA lady just hit the PGP progressive here at MGM Detroit for $285,000+. Natural royal + a pair of 4's. Tried to sneak a picture but was rebuffed.
Wow, that's all it took? I've actually had that hand (Royal + pair, no joker). Good for her!
Quote: beachbumbabsWow, that's all it took? I've actually had that hand (Royal + pair, no joker). Good for her!
Yep. Natural Royal + Pair or Five Aces + Pair wins the progressive there.
Quote: WizardofnothingMohegan sun was hit a couple weeks back for 2.1 million
7 card straight flush?
138 Ways to win?... still over 1million to 1. Either choice usually a JP... rather generous IMHO.
and one in other Casinos at about 243K. The Wizard comments that the latter has not been seen that high. See this page.
So lets figure its version 1. If I understand you correctly, the Game itself charges a $1 fee plus the 5% commission. To make it easy, I'll figure a $20 bet + $1 fee. That has about a 4.17% house advantage. The JP at 100% pay is $679,171.90. The game breaks even at 104.17% of the JP or about 708,777.54. From what I read, the JP is an AP.
