question about RTG random jackpots

[slotomatic]

does anyone know ON AVERAGE how often an RTG random jackpot hits, both per game and per casino?

for instance, is a random jackpot win happening once per day per casino? once per day per game per casino? once a week? would be interesting to know...

thanks

As you may know there are many older threads about RJ's. I think this topic has been covered extensively. Search the forum

On Bodog it has always seemed to me that an RJ hits once per week, per slot. They have like 40 basic slots, so like 40 hits per week. I'm probably waaaay off.

If there was a solid answer to this question, then the jackpots wouldn't be random now would they....

well i have searched but couldn't find anything definitive. Also, yes of course the jackpots are random, but even random events have an average occurance rate per month, per week, what have u. i'm sure each casino has records of this, but it doesn't seem that any of them are releasing stats on what was won and when, which is odd because many casinos do congratulate the highest $ winners in recent weeks, on their homepages.

For me, at RTG casinos the Random Jackpots hit zero, nill, nada, zilch. Ive been playing for 5 years and never sniffed a Random Jackpot. There are some posts on here from a former employee for RTG when it was in Atlanta and provided some pretty good insight, although I disagree with what he says about the wager amount not affecting your chances. Maybe its like playing the Megaball , buying one ticket gets you in the game and buying two tickets does mathmatically increase your chances but it doesnt really make a difference. But then again Ive heard of people hitting two in one sitting. Go figure.

RTG needs to start sheding some light on these RJ since they are starting to use the Mini Random jackpot and other Progressive style jackpots but they are probably not for a good reason. If you found out the chances of hitting one were 1 in 500 million pulls you probably wouldnt play. Especially since the RJ is tied in the payout %.

Just my 2 cents.

If you go to the iNetBet website, and look under the recent winners, you can get a feel about how often their randoms are hit. Im not sure if all of the winners are listed since 2006, or just the big ones, but you can kind of see the space between the hits. I don't know of another RTG that lists the random jackpot winners this comprehensively.

agreed completely. it would just be nice to know the odds, and if the casinos set it up to be more likely to hit if, say, the random gets over 10k for instance, etc. And casinos should disclose the info. it would probably gain them even more players.

The hit frequency seems to differ per casino, I've always wondered how it is possible that the RJ's at the Rushmore casino's are so insanely high compared to other casino's.
If at Inetbet, or Clubworld, or Titan a RJ goes over 10K people start writing about it on the forums, oh wow, it must hit anytime now!
Last time I checked at Rushmore, finding a RJ thats NOT over 10K was pretty damn hard.
Many were over 50K, some were close to 100K, now how can that be?
They never hit? Why not?
Do players contribute more per spin?
It makes me wonder how random these Random Jackpots really are.

I do not know how to do a poll, but I would love to see one done for Random Jackpots and what players would like to see in them such as:

Maximimum level before hitting

Average level of hitting

Does one prefer the HUGE Randoms vs smaller hitting Randoms

Etc Etc..

I think thse casinos woul be surprised to see these answers.

I have always said, I prefer a Random (If I ever hit one) to be between $1000-3,000,$4000....knowing it is DUE to go off..and knowing I have a good chance of hitting it vs the ones that go on forever and ever and costs a player tons of money only to be disappointed when it goes on the hour they log out...it is easier to swallow missing the smaller ones than it is to see the big one go after playing it for weeks and sometimes months..

.ust my thoughts..and would love to have others thoughts on this.
