Three Royals in a week nets player $736,407.00

[cipher]

Hi Bryan:

I'll be sending that package we spoke of yesterday out in about 5 minutes or so.

Have a good one.

Just a quick note: when you hit an RF playing at an MG casino, the "double up" option is disabled. Maybe that's a good thing for both player and casino

Are you sure?

Or is it based on the win size? I have hit royals at 50 and 100-line video poker and it lets you double.

I suspect this is due to win size. What was the value of your royal?

 

[HateMG]

Most likely it was progressive jackpots on video poker or Caribbean stud

The wins were $2000 and up. I think I've totaled five. They are all in the infamous Winner ScreenShots thread. It's pretty clear in my head that the doubling was disabled - and now that you mention it, it may have been so when I hit 4 Deuces in Deuces wild for $1000+. So maybe it has to do with win size. These were all on four hand Power Poker.

I'm glad they do it BTW. All it takes is a slip of the mouse to ruin one's day.

SUSPENSE...

Can't wait to hear which casino this was, too! My guess is that it is probably one of the casinos I play at.... WHICH IS WHY I CAN'T WIN!! (This one player is bringing the odds down for the rest of us!!)

 

[dirk_dangerous]

There are very few casinos where you could win this much dough.

True, but I can tell you this: A major casino using a major SW brand has a 100-play VP game where you can make a max bet of $25 per coin.

That's $125 per line with a max bet of $12,500 if 100 lines are played!

A dealt Royal will pay $10,000,000!

And a player can bet lower if they care too. At $5 per coin, a dealt royal will pay $2,000,000.

These limits must be a mistake, as this is the only casino using this particular SW that has limits this high.

It could be a costly mistake if someone with a big enough bankroll takes on the game and gets lucky.

I'm pretty sure that probably 90% of all OC are under no circumstances able to payout any kind of such Jackpot sums in one transaction.

We see so many problems with people getting paid just a few hundred bucks - ok these are mainly the "dodgy" OC's , but it happens way too often!

I really hope 4 u and or your friends u will get paid the full amount.
Anyday.

Further, most of the biggest Casinos have stated in their T&Cs to reserve the right to spread payouts for big sums over a couple of months.

Anyway, Good Luck again !

To all of you that have taken the time to voice your opinions or even to have viewed this thread. It would appear that the Casino in this instance got the message "loud and clear" and I've got to say that it couldn't have hurt for them (the Casino) to have seen the nearly 900 views attributed to this thread. That, in and of itself is a true testament to the fact that as a group that we can make a statement and that we can and often times do make a big difference in this industry. Moreover, it's a great credit to Bryan's work and to all that work right along with him to keep this site up and running.

I've received assurances from the Casino that they do in fact intend to make a one time payment in full for the remaining balance owed to the player.

Until such time as those monies are received I'll continue to update as to any changes that come about. In closing, my hat's off to Bryan and all of you for your input and in taking the time to care.

Have a good one.

That's gotta bring a big smile to your face!!!! Grand job cipher in bringing attention to this fabulous win to the forum!

While things may have been slow from the start; one must be a bit understanding all things considered and with that said:

when you get paid please tell us the name of the casino as it is a great feather in their cap to be doing the right thing and just as unfairness deserves publicity, I think so does integrity ...

You're kidding right? This casino has not responded to the customer or paid the customer since early Feb. That's hardly doing the right thing, even if the casino does pay.

This matter never should have made it to this board.

Bottom line: the casino blew it.

Correct. This casino was wrong and seemed to pay the full amount only under pressure.

Cipher, did the casino attach a condition for paying the player ie not disclosing its name. If so, its gonna be a pity.

 

[soflat]

I am glad you are getting paid, but feel a little cheated. I mean those types of wins deserved to be posted in the Winner's Screenshot thread, didn't they?

 

[bb1webs]

like I said; all things considered.

that's a chunk of money all at once and I imagine any casino would have taken a step back and been wondering if there was more to the win than meets the eye.

Yes they've been too long, and more importantly they've been too quiet but you must imagine that this probably had to reach the top to put the kind of funds together to meet the cash-in, ... while at the same time they're busting their hunches to make sure everything is jake (that the wins were totally honorable situations): because as nearly everyone here admits; it is a huge win of very unusual circumstances.

I would think it would involve contacting the creators of the software and all sorts of checkpoints that common sense would demand you go through... because this is not an ordinary big win. but rather 3 big wins at same casino inside a week... which makes things look extremely suspicious ...

so while this is all going on ... nobody takes the proper steps to insure the player they will get paid (basically staying in contact) and though I'm certainly no software expert I would bet there is a lot of stuff to check before the final okay is given to pay the player.

so a lot of time gets past.

I never said they deserved a ticker tape parade but come on... are you telling me then that you'd say you won't play at that casino if/after they've paid the player?

I would be thinking if they can weather this kind of hit and still be floating that they would be able to pay me anything I won.

heck its probably a casino I can't stand. But even if it is; I'll have to give them credit for coming thru in the end.

And to be more frank; the more of a "small-time" casino that it turns out to be; the more I'll be impressed WHEN they pay.

 

[bb1webs]

to explain perhaps a little better:


imagine you were the casino owner. You find out you've just taken this enormous hit via 3 big wins, not one. All from the same player within same week. The odds being just inside of impossible.

Wouldn't the first thing you'd be doing is contacting the software provider saying "hey, what's this crap?! I mean okay I can accept the first one, and even the second one as being the impossible long shot coming in .... but 3? ... inside a week by the same player no less! What is going on?"

The software provider starts in motion the process of contacting the people who actually know what's going on .... they have to make allowances in their schedules to get free time to check things out ...

I mean there's all kinds of room for incompetentness to have happened from so many angles that could easily explain the extended wait ... which I grant you all reflects badly on the casino.

But at least from my standpoint what is always most important (especially on the big wins) is that the winner does eventually get their hands on the money.

Because I think it is naive to think that you could win that kind of money under same circumstances anywhere (online) and expect that you'd get paid without enduring some hassles etc.

Land based casinos would use every angle available to put off paying out on that kind of money at least until they'd had sufficent time to make sure the matter was completely on the up and up. The only difference is they'd have made sure the player understood that they would be paid once the audit was done.

 

[winbig]

I'm sure 3 royals in a week is nothing for a large casino with many customers. Just so happens he was playing for higher stakes than most others were....Why would this raise a flag?

Look at it on the other hand..Are they going to audit losing accounts that never recieved a royal in order to refund their money?

They went well over an acceptable time frame to give this player their winnings. A week, maybe 2 at the most would have been sufficient.

As far as the software provider getting involved...well, they 'deal' out millions of hands a month on VP alone. If there were any "glitches" in the software, it would have been well known before now.

Kudos, Cipher - good on you and good on the player for hanging in.

Oh - and good on the casino for (eventually and with a little persuasion) doing the right thing, too!

 

[caruso]

Since we're administering kudos: kudos to Mr. Bailey for being the moving force behind the actual resolution.

 

[paul02085]

I am holding on to my kudos till guy gets paid, but i will say this forum is the best online casino forum on the internet.:notworthy

 

[Bet it Up]

2 Questions

1. Why is no one willing to name the casino?

2. WHERE CAN I BET THIS MUCH? I would love to be able to play $25 coin VP

 

[Macgyver]

1. Why is no one willing to name the casino?

Because naming it right now might make the casino stall even longer with the payment.

Once the money's in the player's hands, name away.

And, from cipher himself:

I just sent you an email with some more details on this one. Additionally, I've sent the casino REP. a copy of this post so I'm going to keep the name of the casino under wraps for a bit longer or at least give the REP another opportunity to respond to the facts of the post.

Why the casino are stalling will be an interesting read.

Why the casino are stalling will be an interesting read.

Hi Joeyl:

We've received an email from the Casino stating that the wire transfer withdrawal request for the remaining balance owed has been approved and we are now waiting for the player's bank to advise him that the wire has been received. I've got to tell you that I now remember what it's like to be an expectant father.

Hopefully, this will all be history within the next couple of days.

Have a good one.
