Can a joker be used? Ace high or low of course? What are the other payouts that the $5 bet is eligible for?

What's the EV on this

7 card straight flush is what, 800000:1, and this payout is 340000:1... so maybe I'm just too dumb to see it.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I would hope you don't always lose on hands worse than the 7 card straight flush.

Unless I'm wrong this is version two on the wizard of odds pay table and the wizard lists it at positive ev at 250k for 1 dollar which would equate to roughly 1.25 mill for 5. Making this a pretty large overlay- but what do I knowb

For this kind of large progressive I would say you have to include the tax as a factor when figuring out the EV. I pay over 40% in fed and state, so 1.7 million is 'only' 1 million for me, so it is still negative EV at that value.

Then most slot progressives on must hits would be negative ev even a must hit that was at 9999 must bit but 10k would be negative- you can go off that theory

A must hit could certainly have negative EV, they do most of the time. Why WOULDN'T? you factor taxes in? What is the difference between winning $2 million and paying 50% tax vs winning $1 million tax free?
