OK cool... 
Thanks for quick reply
Any info on the actual ODDS of hitting this, however... i.e. if 13 BTC is over +ExpectedValue yet?
I've looked around on the 'net a bit this morning (Wizard of Odds, etc) but didn't find any stats on this particular side-game anywhere.
IF it's really +EV now I'll come back and play it for sure, at least a little
And hopefully this post won't draw all the Asian Bot Farms over to the game now, to attack it IF it's really +EV now... LOL
P.S. You guys have coded this as 8-Decks "continuous shuffle", correct? Maybe if I have time later today I'll try to manually crunch-out the numbers myself and figure out what the odds and EV point of this jackpot is...
P.P.S. I found this...

...but I don't think it's quite exactly the same, or correct for YOUR version of the game? Or, "close enough"...? How does this indicate the jackpot EV point?

Hi KeyJockey,
When the jackpot will be hit is, of course, impossible for us to predict due to randomness. Regarding EV, as is the case with most casinos Expected Value is something that is left up to the player to determine when playing - we can't really help you on that one, I'm afraid!
P.P.P.S. Also further to be clear IF the player gets 7-7 diamonds on the first deal but it's against, say, a dealer 4 so that correct play is to *split*... is the player necessarily required to instead simply HIT for the 7-7-7 to count for the jackpot OR if you split and still get another 7-Diamond card, that's a jackpot win too? Just want to be sure how to handle that to be ready for when it inevitably happens to me, LOL
You must have 7-7-7 for the jackpot, and of course you must be playing "Lucky 7's" in the first place by clicking the "PLAY LUCKY 7's - 1 CREDIT" button.

As we have explained to you multiple times when you have previously made completely unfounded accusations of unfair play, every single game played at all of our casinos is 100% provably fair. What's more, you don't even have to take our word for it - you can verify every single game that you play yourself by using the information provided at the 'Provably Fair' link at the top of any page.

I don't think the guy you're responding to is saying that you're rigging his games at all. I believe his accusation is that you are using a BVC-controlled account to win the jackpot when it gets to a high value which you do not wish to pay out. I don't think there's enough or really any evidence to support that claim, but still, I don't think you actually addressed his concern at all.
Hi cwil,
That may indeed be the accusation being made, however it is an accusation that could thrown at any casino in existence both online or offline. An online casino operator could be trying to win its own jackpots, and an offline casino operator could have players on the floor trying to win their own jackpots. Paradoxically it is an accusation that is impossible to prove on the user's end and impossible to disprove on the casino's end.
I believe it also an accusation that is largely without merit, particularly when it comes from this user; yes, a casino operator could do that, but there is still no guarantee that they will hit the jackpot (due to randomness and the usage of a 100% provably fair system of play). Certainly due to probability the odds may tip in the operator's favour if the operator were playing a number of accounts off against a user, however the win would still be random and thus not guaranteed for the casino. When I mention that is without merit "particularly when it comes from this user", I say this because this particular user has previously won jackpots himself. It is only when other players win the jackpots that he begins to complain about there being some sort of conspiracy at play.
If another player hits a jackpot that this particular user is chasing we often receive incredibly abusive emails which he generally later apologizes for, and acknowledges he is in the wrong for; this suggests that he simply takes umbrage at another player being luckier than himself and that would seem to be what sparked his accusations in this instance.
We have been running since 2012 and we have paid out 1000's of BTC in jackpots and prizes, and we now also provide the opportunity for users to win prizes in DSH and ZEC. We take a huge amount of pride in the fact that our users trust our sites, that they can rest easy in the knowledge that we are 100% provably fair and that they will always receive their winnings - big or small.
I believe we have very much earned this trust over the years and it is a rather offensive suggestion by a user who didn't win a jackpot because another player won it instead to accuse of being somehow untrustworthy despite all of our solid efforts to earn our players' trust . Such is the nature of the casino business though, I suppose!!
Thanks for focusing our answer, cwil, and I hope the above sufficiently addresses those concerns.
