This type of promotion seems to be big in Penn National casinos (including Argosy and Hollywood). If it gets to say $49k, would you increase your return by going to a penny slot and playing the min (1 line, 1 penny) or would that not be advantageous because you won't be hitting big in the game itself? So my question is, is there a point where you should go and play to increase your odds of coming out ahead and if so, what is that point? Obviously if the jackpot ever gets to $49,999.99 it has to hit. If your card is in a machine when the jackpot hits, you win $25 in slot play. You could be playing max credits at a $20 machine or 1 penny at a time on a penny machine, your odds are the same.Ģ. It hits randomly, no matter what slot or stakes you are playing. It starts at $20k and HAS to hit before it reaches $50k.ġ. Gun Lake Casino in Michigan offers a Jumbo Jackpot.
