<div class="bbWrapper">Obviously I have never hit one. I stuck with the English Harbour Group for the most part and prior to that, Microgaming--back in the day.

<div class="bbWrapper">We are told that any bet size can win the RJ and I recall Dogboy saying that a $1 bet per spin has a 1 in 300, 000 chance or was it 1 in 30,000 chance of hitting a rj. Last year I hit my first and only rj betting 0.2 per spin. I myself do not think it&#039;s worth raising your bet to hit a rj. Of course, if you deposit with a huge bonus attached you could try to get it but there are soooo many players who havent won it even once and they may have deposited thousands already and bet at $1 or $2 per spin.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> .</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I don&#039;t think the amount matters...I have hit the random at clubworld about 6 times over the years..the most 11.000.00 on 0.40..none of the wins were on more than a 40 cent bet...4 of the randoms were on 20 cent bets....we got more hits on less than a buck...several times we had bet 2 dollars and they seem to dry up...</div>

That would mean that most of them would require .20 per spin. But maybe I am wrong.<br /> <br /> While we are on this subject-I have also wondered since I have never won one-it seems to me that they hit late at night, although I guess that depends on the time zone you are in. Those of you who have won a RJ do you remember the time of day?</div>

It doesn&#039;t mean they cannot be won at lower bets, but if you played an equal amount of big bets and small bets you would be more likely to have won more RJs whilst betting big.<br /> <br /> It also stands to reason that people who play lower bets generate more spins, so you are more likely in that case to be there when it goes off, and thus you can still win.</div>

I have hit over a dozen of them in the two years of playing online. The majority of these were with bets in the $25 to $50 range. I am not suggesting anyone chase RJ&#039;s with big bets. Not at all --- play the games you enjoy and if its gonna hit, it will hit. <br /> <br /> Diane</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve won $100,000+ worth of Random Jackpots over the past 5 years. None of them required over a $1.20 bet and I spent nowhere near that amount of money to hit them. I don&#039;t buy into the large bet theory, but I will say that I believe you need to cover all the lines and 20c bets don&#039;t cut it. There is only one place I have hit an RJ on a very small bet and that was at Bodog. I hit it on Witches and Wizards with a .25c bet for just under $3000 jackpot. <br /> <br /> Frankly, people like Diane amaze me! Even if I had the money, I doubt I could bet like that.

<div class="bbWrapper">I have had 2 major RJS and about 7 minor RJS= I put this down to the fact that <u>I play a lot of RTG </u>rather than spin time of day or bet size. Timing for the majors were(east coast Australia)a mid afternoon sunday and another at about 9pm in the evening during the week= one was on a $5 spin and the other on a $1.20 spin. Minor RJS at complete variety of times and bet sizes. Both Majors at Inetbet-minors at Inetbet, Jackpotcapital and Slotastic.</div>
