Just after getting Goosed by the Goose for about $600 I hit this and even fount the cashout button. Gotta love Ruby Fortune, one call to support and they instanlty flushed my account, great customer service.

This was a bit of a shock!

I'm just wondering 1 thing... Is the screenshot for REAL money or just PLAY money? (blink KING eck)

If it's for REAL money, Congratulations. It's a really nice hit, but at $125 per pop, I think you've gotta really have a HUGE bankroll or...

Vinyls been around for awhile I hope he wouldnt do that, although it is strange we havent heard from Hoffman since he's been called on it.

Goosed is right, you were down to your last $30.

It's for real.
Jackpot Factory run tournaments with a rule that you get 10 points for a �500 payout as well as 1 point for �50 deposited & wagered (once per game per day). You actually have to deposit ANOTHER �50 and wager it once for another point, you cannot get 2 points by wagering the same �50 twice. I have worked out that any deal of 3 of a kind above will have the potential to give a �500 payout, hence 3 Aces would have been enough, 4 was a welcome bonus - I got my 10 points! Music Hall has a "random" wheel of cash, but I find it favours the brave, and volatile games. Whilst you can run Double Magic at 1p per spin for days on end you will probably not see a single wheel (I have tried this!), but wager aggressively and I have had 6-7 in a day, and once had the magic 8 (the allowed upper limit per account per day).
The Video Poker is a high payback, and is less volatile in the 50 hand version than the 10 or 4 hand version. Wagering �125 at 50 hand is the same coin as wagering �10 a time at standard 4 hand power poker (my usual wager on this is �20). 50 hand Joker Poker is more risky as the more common deals do not pay as much, with the pay table weighted towards the specials (Joker Royal, 5 of a kind).
A pat Royal at 50 hand VP @�125 would be very nice indeed, but rather unlikely, but not impossible, as I now know

At the end of the session with the 4 Aces at All Jackpots I was over �25,000 ahead (plus an iPod and Picnic basket!).

Naturally, the maths is against me if I continue long term at the same game, whatever the stake. I find Microgaming rather 'streaky', and often a game is 'hot' or absolutely dead. (I have both lost & won up to 20 consecutive hands at Blackjack, and the 3 card poker seems to bunch the 3 of a kind and straight flushes close together, and other times it's 100 deals with bugger all and the dealer is getting flushes, straights, pairs etc nearly all the time). I'm sure the debate about randomness will run and run, but it is impossible to prove that these streaks are statisticaly significant as an indication of some kind of controlled weighting. It would be interesting to have the actual mathematical formulae that convert the random numbers into game results, and hand them over to "wizard of odds" for an opinion!
