It means he doesn't understand how these games work.

And I'm certain everyone who won a prize was paid, or we'd have heard about it.

And I'm not certain WPN made a lot, if any, money on the WSOJ's now that a jackpot multiplier was hit. These got a lot less volume than they anticipated.

What his is saying is that the $30 JP never hit and since WPN never paid out the grand prize they made a killing off of them in particular.

That's not what it sounded like he was saying. It's certainly a true statement they did better than the 6% juice in the 30's, but I would think they did worse in the 3's and quite possibly lost money since the volume was so much lower than they anticipated. Obviously they're not going to tell us and I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time lol) but I suspect they didn't make out nearly as well as some thought they did/would.

Despite the lack of popularity of these they were about to do very well on them until the last minute jackpot game dropped... I guess you could say WPN took a bad beat there.

Nah they made a killing on these for sure. Low ball estimate is 2700 games took of at the 30s even after the payout in the 3s they made a nice chunk.

Source? After about the first week the 30's slowed down considerably. I sat for over 45 min one night waiting for one to launch and it never did.

My experience playing them. The first week games were going off with a slight delay but running pretty much round the clock. I'd put the first week at over 700 games. After that if you just say 50 games ran a day, you get there easily.

Hopefully WPN won't bring these back again since they were a fail but if they do choose to please give people time to actually win a package putting them up by March next year.

No idea how many ran, but I remember seeing one day when there were only like 6 names on the $30 winner's list. I think that means only 3 games ran during whatever time period that list takes to recycle.

I also hope we don't see more of these. If they come in the same general format as the regular Jackpots, I wouldn't mind.

Yeah, sadly these did not run too well..

WPN didn't really make a killing on these. They would have made more of a killing if they got more traffic than they did beating the odds on awarding the packages.

I would personally like to see a JP format in the future that awards various things such as PP, Tournament entries, etc.. but I imagine it takes a lot of programming.

Did the $30 ones ever give away the 37.5k?

Unfortunately the 30's did not drop the jackpot. They were not as popular as we were hoping.

I will delete this thread a bit later as they wont be back for atleast 10 months or so. If we do bring them back it will be with a different structure.
