Can you guys please keep posting in this thread, just so I'm reminded to play at around midday? Last time the jackpot got so high, I kept blowing StarsCoins on it and then forgot to play on the one day it got taken down.
Thanks. 
EDIT: Never mind, looks like it got taken down already. Good thing I played today.
08:00 local time is 17:00 CET, so probably quite a few playing then.
My spreadsheet estimates 22,000 players.
My $/coin invested is below average, but still above the $0.01 you get if you cash 'em in.
Cheers,

Great return, over 5$. Dont expect anyone paying 500 starscoin when starting at the 100k.
I suggest holding deal tickets as long as possible for when the jackpot reaches the 100k mark...downside is that you have to check your expiry on those free deal tickets ( mostly 1month valid)

Is it still possible to earn Deal tickets?If so, how?
Yes, i get them from my star chests.
This month i had 14 of them waiting to be used.
I haven't had one in months.
Mind you, I haven't been playing much lately, either
All the best,

Me ether, but time to build up some star coins again. Nice reward this time:
Dear SDK1987,

Good luck at the tables,

at 13:14 Dr Harvey K had a shot at it.
He got $500 and the spinner stopped just short of the jackpot.
I can hardly imagine the disappointment.
The JP was at 160,500 or so.
I'm going to wait until it's 175K even if it means missing out.
Cheers,

We will see if that’s the right strategy, but I hope he will fall soon. I have not to many coins to spare.
Not before tomorrow morning, please.
At the current rate, the JP will hit 175K around 11:00 PDT (18:00 Z) June 11
In fact, at 20:30 PDT it was at 173,500 so I bought in.
Fortunately, I hit 2 pair, which pays 7 StarsCoin, so I now hope somebody hits the JP in the next 12 hours so I will have an infinite ROI
Enjoy your week!

Yep, it's worth it again. Let's keep this thread alive so no one forgets to play when it matters.
There were a couple of people on Monday who earned a spin at the jackpot -- neither successful.
The rate of increase in the jackpot took another jump today, and should cross the 200K level within the next few hours.

I was late playing this morning, but luckily no-one won the jackpot in the 18 minutes.
I did hit trips though (win 25), so pre-200K all my play cost me 4 StarsCoin.
Unlike the last cycle where I started at 100K and spent 106 StarsCoin before it ever got to 200K.
Again I missed my 12-hour deadline, but again I got away with it -- and hit two pair also.
I guess I had better set an alarm!
