Can you explain in two sentences why I should care for that promo and be happy to pay $1/pot into the jackpot?
This would be for a room in TX where they can't take a per-hand jackpot drop, instead they take $2 towards the jackpot pool when you purchase chips as a single contribution for the entire day.

It's a small room, less than 10 tables, with an average of 1-2 tables running. When a qualifying hand is made, the dealer calls over the floor who documents the player and their qualifying flush.
There's then a daily board that is used to track (it would display a players name and then the suits they've hit so far)

It's a small room with under 10 tables that usually has 1-2 running daily on average.

Unfortunately I can’t think of a way for this to be workable and it seems to favor the regs most of all so as interesting as the idea is I would have to say it’s not that good.
Unfortunately it's not that easy to run a promo that gets hit frequently here in TX because we can't pull per hand for the jackpot pool, instead having to just take $2 when they buyin that goes to the promotion pool.
Also, this is a smaller room that the majority of the traffic is going to be regulars/locals, it's not a destination room.
The idea is that it isn't super easy to clear, allowing the prize pool to get fairly large given we're limited to just $2/player per day to fund the prize pool. This would hopefully draw in additional action to the room, with players trying to hit it, playing longer sessions and of course playing more suited hands creating more action in the games as well.
Once a player has two flushes under their belt for the day, they realize they're getting close to that promo win and will want to continue playing trying to clear it.
