SCOOP starts in a couple of days.
PokerStars traffic will pick up.
The overall average daily jackpot increase is 1866, however since the first of March, it has been just over 2,000
At that rate we should set a new record in 11 days.
Unless somebody wins it first — hopefully me

So jackpot is over 500k. That must be a record for sure.Earlier in this thread someone reported that it had once reached 547K.
at our current rate, we'll pass that in 10 days or so.
574k

OK I fixed the original post — thanks for correcting me.
Using the current 7-day average of about 1800 increase per day, and the current jackpot of 527K, the record will be broken in 25 Days — so May 31.
Lets be honest - we all invested already more than 10$ we will get back when someone will hit jackpot.

I have put in 1654 coins since November of last year.
The estimated share varies quite a bit depending on how many play.
You're quite right though — the ROI is going to suck
Congrats for the winner! 
for the $1.000 spin

Interestingly, I received this popup just before the jackpot window opened.
I had to click on it to see the game window.

Nice jackpot. This must be the highest now.
According to this: https://pokerground.com/zuziek79-polski-trafia-jackpota-wygrywa-fortune-pokerstars/
It has reached 574K before.
I found this that seems to confirm the $574K figure
I found the answer. The record was 574460.09 and was hit by a Polish player in early 2017 shortly after the amalgamation with Full Tilt. It only took 2 weeks to get that high. Everybody had coins to play back then because they were awarded in even the lowest chest and people had coins carried over from Full Tilt. I remember blundering and using almost all my coins up in one day playing The Deal on Full Tilt prior to the amalgamation because I was worried they would be gone after pokerstars absorbed Full Tilt. I could sure use those coins now!
Two weeks! Wow!
Then this...
Onchan, Isle of Man – February 1, 2017 – The jackpot for The Deal, PokerStars’ hugely popular mini game, has hit for the first time in almost two weeks. The progressive jackpot had grown to well over $550,000 when ‘zuziek79’ triggered the jackpot to win $287,230.45 at PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (NASDAQ: AYA; TSX: AYA) brand.
A LIFE CHANGING MOMENT
The Polish player was playing The Deal for the very first time when the lucky strike came on his seventh hand at the 7 StarsCoin buy-in level. That triggered the Royal Flush that led to the largest jackpot the game has ever paid out. ‘zuziek79’ was being railed by his brother and confirmed that excitement levels at this point were “crazy”. Another brother missed out on the excitement but ‘zuziek79’ said “he’s getting a nice present as compensation. I’m very happy. It is a life changing amount of money for me. I plan to spend it wisely and of course continue playing at PokerStars”. Additionally 54,190 players were awarded a $5.30 share for playing in the 12 hours leading up to the jackpot hit.
54,000 players!
There are barely 12,000 players now. That number assumes that players play once each, and play for 7 coins at a time. If any are playing 70 coins, or playing multiple times in a 12-hour period, the number is even less.
Than it will be close now at least. Even for people that playing 1 time per 12 hours it will be a nice paid day if the jackpot burst.

That depends.
I've been playing twice a day since last November, and have paid 1815 chips, which has a nominal value of $18.15
As of 21:00 local time yesterday, the estimated payout per person is $12.50
At 09:00 this morning though, the estimated payout per person is $23.60
So much depends on how many players played during the previous 12 hours.
That makes it tricky for sure. It is a expensive game for you now.
Than it would be better that the jackpot will burst on a normal day and not in the weekend.
The record has been broken, and it just will keep increasing...
