It is currently showing in the lobby in Canada

Congrats to our $1,000 winner

Jackpot is already more than 171k. Decent change it will reach 200k at the end of the weekend if he doesn't burst.

a spin at 16:58 UTC this morning for approx 174K
Congrats to our $1,000 winner

Guess I'll start playing now

I started a few days ago
Good luck to all.

Good luck both

Just passed 200K within the last hour or so.

It doesn't get over 200k very often does it?

I believe we've even seen 300k a few times before.

But 200k is definitely on the higher end.

The highest I've ever seen was 456K
In the early days of this promo -- like 2017 or so -- it would frequently hit > 200K
My data is skewed though, because I only record the results when I play it.

Of the 25 records I have, 14 are over 200K when it was won.

Well, I would have thought 200K is at least above average. Maybe it is, if we take all the really small ones into account too.

Should be a good moment to play, in any case.

Of the winning jackpots I've recorded, the average is 225K, but since I didn't record several that were < 200K it is a pretty good estimate of the average.

The Deal promotion seems very complicated, I have no idea at all about the details of the game. Never played it since it's a pit game, only interested in poker.

Hi tomaszmrozowski,
The procedure is quite simple -- you just select two cards to throw away and the remaining 5 make a poker hand.

If you win the jackpot, you get half of it, and the other half is divided amongst all players who played in the 12 hours prior to the jackpot win.

Typically this is around $4.00
As long as you spend less than 400 Starscoin you are making more $/coin than any other thing you can do with them.

I never got less than $8 ;-) So VorpalF2F is right. If you don't go for the jackpot itself you have the chance to be part of the Jackpot for 14 Coins/Day (which is equivalent to $0,14)

I mean technically you could win it with spending 7 coins, but that would be a once in a million ;-)

I didn't use a solver for this, but even if you play it semi-randomly when it is above 100k, (but try to play every 12h of course) it's worth the investment.

Off course you need to play a decent amount to keep your star coins balance high enough.
