Greetings Replay family,
This certainly would have been a joy if you were lucky enough to have been on this table…
The Club casino spread a lot of cash around that night. It was so joyful…
This is one of the most exciting aspects of poker today, 10’s of millions are paid out daily with these jackpots…
There is a continuous growing resentment among the poker players who spend a considerable amount of time playing, much more then the regular weekenders. Here you have this huge Jackpot built on the backs of the regular player’s cash… Although it’s entirely built on player money (except seed money) it’s still a very expensive adrenaline rush… You would be hard pressed to find a casino that doesn’t have one of these jackpots. I’ll bet the first casino that lets go of this strangle hold on their players will steal a ton of business. It’s gonna be a very short leap in logic for any card room manager/ marketing, to see this one change as a gold mine… The jackpots are primarily a draw for weekenders. This extra short at cash and a huge adrenaline rush…
Also, if you really look closely, believe it or not…it’s another small bridge to draw in slot players with jackpots to get them started in poker.
The answer for the casinos is not that hard… If you’ve played any of the Pai Gow Poker tables recently you’ll see they most generally are connected and hooked up to a progressive jackpot bank. Here’s where the casinos could wise up. Put those same meters in the card rooms as the pia gow tables, then give the player a choice to play in this extra game.Now the jackpot bank can grow even faster as each player will put in a dollar instead of a single dollar a pot. You get added layers of marketing energy out of this simply by a player NOT participating in the jackpot and it hits… and no one gets a dime… It’s happens in Pia Gow poker and there’s always such a huge buzz that it starts the attention on your casino and draws customers. Now you’re catering to your weekend thrill seekers and to your bread & butter players who play 6 or 7 days a week… 
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to think like that outside the box here at replay… How hard will it be to add another layer of excitement for the players… I can’t imagine how big that jackpot could get at a dollar a pop per hand, per player., or how many potential Replay customers this could get the attention of and attract. Really, who else is doing this. It’s player supported, which real casinos love… Another advantage a poker site like this has, the ability to put in a button for uninterrupted continuous jackpot bets I hope others could contribute to this idea and pass it along.
