yeah, but if you win it outright you only get half (which is still fine by me).
To get the jackpot for 7 coins -- you need a royal flush.

I've never even had a *chance* at a straight flush.

I believe my biggest hand on the Deal was two pair :)

Today I came close at a flush, which would have been 1$. :f_thumbsup:

I set reminders.
Then I turn my phone off.
Then, two hours after the reminder should have gone off I remember, and hope I didn't miss the jackpot.
Then try to decide if I should play off-schedule, or wait until the next reminder and risk missing the jackpot.

Life is so hard...

Still not busted, but this weekend there will be a lot of action most likely.

since I entered early, Murphy's law says that it will go for a long time.

That could be possible, but we will see. Hopefully for me it's not taking to long, because I don't have much star coins left.

Do you get a bigger part of the 50% if you play for 70coins of if you play multiple times within the 12hours period?
Or is it just divided between all entrants equally?

Each player gets an equal share, regardless of how many coins they played, or how often they played in the previous 12 hours.

Or, this was how it was done last year when a streamer who played 70 coins several times got exactly the same amount I did -- and I had played 7 coins once.

Best of luck,

It makes no difference indeed. Off course you have a higher change to win something if you use the 70 SC, but I think it's a waste of chips on the long run.

The Jackpot is over 200k already. How much can we get if someone takes it? About $2.5 on average?

Hi CucumbaMan,
Here are the payouts I recorded earlier this year. I used to keep track -- I don't any more, but the rules haven't changed, so the only variable factor is how many people played in the previous 12 hours.
I used to only begin playing when the jackpot exceeded 175000, but recently it has been won at far lower values, so this time I started at 111,000
The downside of this is that my $/Coin will be less, but as long as it is better 1¢ per coin, it is OK

Now it takes indeed a long time. Would be nice to see if we would win at least $5 now.
That would be a high paid paid for a jackpot.

I terribly unfortunate user won a jackpot spin at about 20:19 UTC today, and (all) he got was 500 bucks.

And again at 20:42:

Nasty for him, but with a 255k jackpot the prizes will be bigger for the rest.

That would really suck to get a spin, and then end up with $500. LOL.

That for sure, but life could be cruel sometimes.
Even than he would win more than I ever won with the deal.

I don't know... I'd take that $500.

btw, guys, make sure to keep posting in this thread every 12 hours or so, just to remind everyone to play. I forgot earlier today, good thing the jackpot wasn't hit.
