Playing $1,250/spin on Triple-Double, where there's a bit more equity from the return on rare, high payout hands. This was just an 800-to-one "Quads with a kicker" payout!
I wonder what the withholding is.

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Is there any? The IRS says that there is no withholding for slot machine winnings (which, presumably, includes VP machines) if the winner furnishes a taxpayer ID number. Otherwise, it's $240,000 in this case.

People who have money play higher limits.

Looks like the quads paid 4,000 coins each and there were 10 hands that won the same amount, so it was a 40K coin win x $25 = $1M.

Guys... the game was Triple Double Bonus. Quad aces with a kicker equals a royal flush.

I think that's the point. What's your net worth if you're playing $1,250/hand? I don't think I ever would, and here's why:
1.) I'd have to have an advantage somehow.
2.) I'm probably not playing $1,250/hand Video Poker unless I'm worth something like a readily liquified ten million.
3.) If I'm worth ten million in cash or easily liquified assets, then I would have no need to advantage play in casinos.

Most million dollar jackpots are paid off over twenty years. I gather that isn't the case here.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Generally, not in the casino. I can only think of a few things that are not paid off instantly in a casino.Quote: billryanMost million dollar jackpots are paid off over twenty years. I gather that isn't the case here.

There are a lot of high net worth high limit slots players on the Strip, many of whom play nothing but slots. Almost all if not all of them are big time year end and lifetime losers. And I assume not many hit million dollar jackpots because typically when you read about those who do hit them, they were playing smaller limits, and the ones who do identify themselves tend to be Joe (or Josephine) Average from out of town.
This high roller winner was the exception.
