Default Progressive Jackpot Video Poker

One legitimate strategy for video poker advantage play is to hit the progressive jackpot games really hard when the jackpot is over a certain amount. Since the payback percentage for a video poker game is based on the % chance that each payout will occur times the amount of the payout, obviously an ever-growing progressive jackpot at the top end will eventually result in a positive expectation game. I've heard that entire teams will take over banks of progressive video poker games when the jackpots reach certain levels. (I guess if you live in a jurisdiction where it's legal to gamble online you could try this strategy on the Internet too.)

Default Progressive Video Poker Online

I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in this topic. I've read that in Vegas and other cities that when a jackpot gets over an amount to make a game 100%+ expectation that teams of video poker players hit those games really hard. I thought I'd post some of the progressive video poker games online that I'm aware of here too.

Mega Jacks from Playtech- This is a progressive version of 9/6 Jacks or Better. It's a quarter machine, and max bet is $1.25, so it's the cheapest progressive video poker game I've seen online. Once the jackpot hits $1000, it's a full pay Jacks or Better game with a 99.54% return. Every additional $250 added to the jackpot increases the payback percentage by about 0.5%, so it becomes a positive EV game when it hits $1250.

Jackpot Deuces from Microgaming - This is a progressive version of Deuces Wild. It's a dollar game with a $5 max bet, and when the jackpot is over $16,000, it's a positive expectation game. (100.3%)

Supajax from Microgaming - This is a progressive Jacks or Better game. It's a $1 game with a max bet of $5. When the jackpot is over $53,000, the game has a positive expectation. (100.11%)

I know there are other progressive video poker game at Global Player, Cryptologic and Boss Media casinos, but I'm not as familiar with them.
