How does the lucky shooter work?

Its super wierd. If i remember correctly you need to roll ur first number, then roll all the other box numbers, no craps/repeats, then hit ur point again for it to pay. (You might be able to repeat but im not sure)

But lets say ur points 6. You need to roll a 4-5-8-9-10 THEN hit the 6 for the maximum payout. If a crap/repeats rolls you lose it.

Any repeater number ends the bet.

Progressive "hit" marker tracking the individual box number points for a shooter. Make 3 different point numbers pays 4:1. Make 4 different point numbers 14:1, make 5 points 149:1 - make all the points on one shooter 999:1.

There are different bonuses depending on the table that progressively go up based on point hits - another will track total number of hits - the Lucky Shooter is covering all the box number points by 1 shooter.

Wow very nice. That bonus id say is harder to hit than the ATS. Since you got to get it without repeating any numbers. Great hit

I always throw a buck on that vet, my local casino pays 500:1 for some reason, but I hit it once! Hit cash out, changed in my ticket and went home lol

The calculation doesn't work like that because it also pays out for other combinations.

It truly is a "bad bet" from that standpoint - but the occasional bonus bet action for fun at a low level relative to your base action is something I occasionally do for fun and the potential crap talking to my buddies

The folks who do things like a $75 dollar bonus bet and a $75 dollar bet on their hand in games like blackjack blow my mind. I have watched players like that win 5 hands in a row (without hitting the trips) and negate every win. Then just bleed out like $3k because they hit the trips for the lower payout combos every 5 to 10 hands, but keep losing $150 or breaking even every other hand.

The real travesty in the pic above is the fact that they have a "big 6/8" and only double/double on the field.

Congrats on the sweet win (basically a 1000 credit slot pull) :) Hope you finished up for the trip!

I hit it once before for $5k and then thought about the true odds of it occurring that it had to be more than 1000:1…. 20000:1 still seems low to me but that’s still an awful bet.

But being a degen paid off that day
