This is going to be interesting. In your opinion do you think they have the ability to pay, Cipher? Has your player recorded the detail on his/her win?

Please don't answer if you think any of these questions might prejudice your case.
There are very few casinos where you could win this much dough.

Crypto, $250 max on Jacks or Better 10 line - $200k royal - not enough to win $720k in 3 royals.

Grand Virtual doens't let you bet enough to make a $250k win either.

Casino On Net has $250 max bet on 50-line JoB, so again a $200k max win

Playtech $100 Jacks or Better 4 line - $80k max

Boss $25 single line, $20k max

Microgaming $125 Jacks or Better 50 line, or $62.50 Deuces & Joker 50 line ($125k max)

Odds On has a $200k max win, via $100 bets on Deuces and Joker Wild

The only brand that this would normally be achievable on is starluck/planetluck - they have a number of games that would allow the kind of wins that wouldn't exactly put Partygaming out of business, but might warrant a mention on the balance sheet:

Kanga Cash and Vegas Club, two video poker games with a 1000 coin royal flush and a $500 max bet ($500k max win). A $250 bet here would win $250k.

Their normal video poker games (jacks or better) have been removed from their website at the moment, for upgrades or maintenace or something, but the max bet on these games was always only $5.

---

The details are going to be interesting here - did the casino raise its limits. What coin was the player playing? With $240k royals, that's $60 coins on a normal 4000 coin jackpot. $60 coins would be a little strange. So a 1000 coin jackpot and $50 coins is much more likely. Some kind of progressive? (they should have the cash to pay) Or some other jackpot, or even higher royals accompanied with a lot of play in between - e.g., $100 coins, for a $400k win * 3 = $1.2million, minus the money lost playing for the royals (or maybe a two huge royals and a merely big one).

Or is it some where I haven't played (e.g., gambling federation), that is crappy and irresponsible and has limits it can't afford to pay.

Maybe the player is a super whale and actually did play video poker at $500/time.
