Example:

At a 15/30 there is a ~$100,000 Jackpot for getting four 8s or better beaten. Loser gets half, winner gets 1/4, table gets rest. According to a site I looked up, this happens (to the table) approximately 1 in 166,000 hands. First of all, is that # correct? Second, what is the added +EV of playing in that game, factoring in all times you or table wins jackpot.

Note that the rake + jackpot drop is still cheaper than comparable rake in area.

They also give $200 for having 4 8's or better between 5-7pm and $500 for a royal flush any time.

My math may be off or rusty, so please correct, but, if you play 30 hands an hour, 8 hours a day, for a year... You've played 87,600 hands.

So If 1 in 166,000 is correct, you're likely to hit the jackpot (as a table) within 2 years of playing? So the +EV for the game, assuming you're going to play for 2 years should be an extra (average of $100k/10 or 9 players) ~$10K ?

So for example if your yearly EV is $50K, is it now 55K just by playing in the game with a jackpot?

I'm not clever enough to figure out the added bonuses of four 8's or better between those hours or $500 of a royal flush, but, I'd appreciate it if anyone can look this over and tell me what they think.
