I'm not sure if it's legit. I don't see any exercise equipment reflected off the screen.

If kewl claimed that no one would even believe him... but it happens. Food for thought.

Interesting. A "guest" hits a 1.2 million jackpot and there is a write up in the news 3 days later. Even when the guest didn't want his name used (understandable) they still write the story leaving the guest anonymous.

Compare that to Rob hitting the same size jackpot. No write- up in the news or any Las Vegas internet outlets that cover those kinds of things.

Coulda been me.

Well, for $200k, not $1.2m. At Harrah's Rincon.

Here's my post from 3/14/15: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post26426

I can't believe I forgot perhaps the most memorable part of my trip.

The Double Super Times Pay machines will pay you a whopping 400,000 credits ($200,000 at the 50c/credit level) if the following happens:

- You are playing max coins
- You are DEALT a royal flush
- The multiplier on the deal hits

Doesn't matter which multiplier you were going to get. If the above happens, you automatically win 400,000 credits.

What are the odds of this?

Well, a dealt royal is about 1-in-649,000. The multiplier on the deal is 1-in-15.

So that makes the whole thing a whopping 1-in-9.75 million.

Needless to say, I wasn't expecting it.

BUT WAIT!

On Saturday night, I saw AcTcJc and the multiplier activated.

Now I just needed the KcQc and I would win the $200,000!

Amazingly, the next card to hit was indeed the Kc, leaving me just needing the Qc.

What was the final card?

It was a queen... but a queen of diamonds.

If that diamond was a club, I win $200k.

Unbelievable. I doubt I will ever come that close again.

As an added frustration, I drew at the royal and was awarded a lowly straight and flush, and bricked the other 3 hands.

I just sat there in disbelief. It was hard to get that out of my head for awhile. So close to a 1-in-10-million hit for 200 grand.
