A friend just visited Red Rock Casino in Summerlin and told me that there are three progressives running for sequential royals... like the one I hit recently at Caesars (see the photo) which did not have a progressive.
As of Sunday, July 5, the 25-cent sequential royal was paying about $25-thousand while "any royal" still paid $1,000. A $1 sequential royal paid about $48-thousand, and a $2 sequential royal paid either $108-thousand or $128-thousand (my friend couldn't remember exactly).
The pay tables weren't too bad either to the best of his recollection. There were six different games all eligible for the sequential royal jackpots but he just looked at the pays at two games.
He recalls that double-double-bonus had a 9/5 paytable, and Bonus poker had a 7/5 paytable. He thinks Jacks or Better had a 9/5 paytable but he doesn't remember since he just glanced at that game on the $1 bank of machines.
The sequential is paid either low to high or high to low and Red Rock calls it "reversible."
How do you figure the EV on something like this? And do you alter your strategy when royal cards appear in certain positions? For example he was playing Bonus and normally you'd hold A-K off suit but he had the A in the first position (possible sequential) and dropped the K.
