The current progressive is about $59,000 for a dealt AsKsQs. The breakeven meter is $50,400, minus $875 for each additional player. The player advantage for each $5 progressive bet is ~11.7% (assuming a full table).



Table minimums are currently $5.00 (Great Cedar Casino). The ante bonus paytable is 5/4/1 (3.37% house edge, 2.01% element of risk). You can play up to 3 hands.

I saw someone dealt JD KD QD in AC. That's 3 to a diamond super royal which is worth $1mil since he was playing the side bets.

First dealer card was a 10D. Other two were crap. So close, I'm sure the closest I'll ever see.

The pit boss joked that she was glad the guy didn't hit because it would be too much paperwork. The guy didn't like the joke much and quietly let out an F You under his breath.

That sucks to pay the side bet, and the dealer not qualifying killed it. That's why I don't play 3cp. Even if you see a hc, it's still a slow game where you hope to win half a bet on the dealer not qualifying. UTH is better.

Maybe the diamond super royal is worth 1M in AC still, but CET quit that promo most properties last year, and all suits are worth 100k.

Was playing at the table next to 3CP tonight and a lady got the Royal for 5 k. She had the jqkd, and the a-t were in the 6 card hand. So a nice score.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Jackpot still unclaimed as of Friday morning. I took my $1K shot at it, but now it is time to say goodbye to... "the wonder of it all".

Yea it's still a thing in AC, interesting they discontinued the promo elsewhere though. I wonder if anyone hit.

A couple weeks ago when I was at NYNY, the progressive was up to $450,000. Does anybody know if their game has any added conditions to inflate that number?

Shuffle Master Classic promotion looks enticing if you're already playing your normal TCP. Nothing extra required.

At some point that progressive has to become EV+ with a huge variance, no?

Not counting taxes, it is +EV. This particular one is a $5 progressive instead of the usual $1. Need AKQ of spades to win it. It looks like version 2.

From WoO:
"The return depends on the jackpot amount and number of other players. To be specific, it is 54.39%, plus 4.52% for each $1,000 in the jackpot, and 0.79% per number of other players. To break even the meter needs to be $10,800, less $175 for each other player."

So the break even on the $5 version pictured should be $54,000.

As of a few weeks ago, the million 6 card bonus has been hit about 15 times nationwide over 5 years. Not sure how exactly how many in AC, at least a few. The last two hits came on the same day! July 10th. I estimate that's about 6.1% likely to happen given the lifetime of the wager if it hits about 3 times annually.

I'm sure this has been hit by now....... but to add to the story.

I was at Mohegan Sun a few weeks back talking to a dealer.
He said at one point their 3CP progressive was over 100K and people were lined up for seats 24/7 to get on the table until it hit.
