Sure enough, I was on when it rolled right past my name...not many playing when it triggered...so...the odds of hitting it again is what??

C'mon, guys, say it...it is RANDOMLY chosen...

Yes, I love these RANDOM jackpots... (tongue in cheek

)

I don't understand the random jackpot there. How do you see it rolling and when does it roll/spin? How can you see who won? Not that I ever expect to win, I was playing all day (well almost...lol) a few times ago when it was hit. I never got visited by Santa (he doesn't like me

)

I was having wonderful luck there, and was depositing quite a bit, I moved up two *'s, now it's terrible, time to take a break I guess.

I have never understood if it is triggered by your spin or the random goes down the list thing....I thought it was by spin but I may be wrong......I hold no hope ever hitting it....

I'm pretty sure the 3Dice RJ operates like RTG RJ.
A small percentage of every bet goes into to the pot, and you get a certain number of "tickets" in return (depending on the bet size).

If you win it, a list with everyone playing (at that time) starts rolling.
It's just eyecandy though, as the winner has already been selected (by them buying a "winning ticket" lol).

I can't remember if if I actually got my theory confirmed, but it does sound logical IMO.

Edit: Confirmed with Enzo

So you don't actually see it but when it's getting ready to go off you see a list of names rolling by...confused:

I don't play 3dice much so I'm not too familiar with their RJs.

...except that's not how RTG random jackpots operate

What you're describing is a pool-based jackpot, not a random. Pool-based jackpots designate at reset the value of the next trigger, and everyone playing it accumulates a chance to win (according to their relative contribution) when it next triggers (as per a lottery).
Alternately they may be random in that they do not pre-designate the next trigger point, and instead assess whether a trigger has occurred for each credit contributed to the jackpot, but then once a trigger has occurred all players that played the game to date from the last reset have eligibility (as per lottery above).

RTG is a random jackpot system, with the chance to trigger (which is relative to bet size) checked at the end of every paid spin, and no correlation between this chance and what has occurred on a previous game.

Both systems are fine, just clarifying the differences.

Woooof

A slight derail but I am wondering whether the RJs can be split to 2 or 3 winners if the JP amount exceeds a certain $ value say if a RJ exceeds $5K 2 players share it at 70%/30% whereas if it exceeds say $10K 3 players share the JP at 50%/30%/20%. The wins will still be substantial and more players will be enticed at the prospect of having more chances to hit the JP with at least $1.5K in the bargain given the examples above.
