Since some of you are genuinely interested in this, I'm posting the entire double up play sequence for those who will actually be searching for this anomaly as I always do. And regardless of what you've read in the wired or other articles or in the Kane & Nestor court papers, what you'll see here are the exact, 100% accurate steps for working the double up play.
1. As an example, we're playing a 5-level 25c thru $5 SDBP machine on quarters with double up enabled. 2. You hit quad Jacks for a 600 credit win.
3. If you're playing a machine where the yes/no DU question pops up after every win, you insert a bill or voucher thereby eliminating the DU question. YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE YES, which will show the first card with four undetermined cards after it. Inserting a bill at this point will also disengage the DU sequence. However, if the DU option does NOT ask the question after every winning hand but instead, has a yellow "double up" tab that appears on the bottom right of the machine after a winning hand, you need to push it to activate the first dealt card with the four blanks. This is when you insert a bill.
4. You then choose More Games from the resulting screen that now shows your quad Jacks.
5. You switch the denomination from 25c to $5.
6. You then select SDBP again. If the pay table is exactly the same for 25c as $5, you'll see your quad Jacks again.
7. Hit the cash out button. Machine will lock up for a $3000 hand pay.
For non-taxable winning hands at the highest denomination: the procedure is exactly the same. Only difference MAY be that your machine may lock up for a hand pay anyway. When I started out I tested the procedure a number of times on non-taxables, and when I hit the cash out button it simply added credits or value to my bank. But when I found a 5c thru 25c machine around four years ago at an Az. Indian casino that had the "bug" when I hit a straight on nickels and switched it to quarters before hitting cash out, it locked up saying "Jackpot! $5". I attribute that oddity to it being an Indian casino machine. I left without collecting.
Don't let kew scare you. Nobody really cares what you're doing when you play vp unless and until you give them a reason to. We all know how kew believes the casinos will pounce on anyone who hits a jackpot, but for some reason they have zero issue with bj counters.
Oh---this is the absolute final time I'll ever be talking about, responding to questions, or putting critics where they belong, on this issue in this or any other thread. If anyone has any questions just PM me. Make all the stupid and hateful comments you like. It has no effect on history.
