I went down to the Strip today to investigate this, as I love to deliver an advantage play on a silver platter as much as I can. If it gets to $3.6 million by next week maybe I’ll change my mind. What is your risk of ruin before hitting the bankroll? Gotta be over 99%?Īt least the jackpot is life changing money for the majority of us. It is corrected later in this tread.Īssume $1k bankroll. Update: The pay table above is incorrect. The question for the poll is would you play with said jackpot? Multiple votes allowed. Remember, none of this is confirmed, yet. Of course, this is before taxes on the jackpot. So, an expected win per hand of $3.20 - $0.68 = $2.52 per hand. Here I'm assuming a 2.72% house edge, based on a 5% commission and the dealer banking. However, I show the expected loss on the base game is $0.68. The lower right cell shows the expected return from a $5 bet is $8.20.

There are various versions of the pay table, for but now I'll assume the one below. I hear the minimum for the base bet is $25 and the side bet is a flat $5.

I have an unconfirmed report the Fortune pai gow poker jackpot at Harrah's (Las Vegas) is at $3.5 million.
