Blazing 7’s Progressive A blackjack side bet that pays based on the number of sevens in the player’s first three cards. Pays start with just one seven in the first two cards and go up to a progressive jackpot for three suited sevens or three sevens in diamonds, depending on the version. Blazing 7’s Progressive is an optional Progressive wager. All rules pertaining to Blackjack and approved blackjack variation games as posted on the WSGC’s website remain the same and are not altered in this game. If linked, the same paytable and the same number of decks must be used between all linked Blackjack games.
Highest return listed on the arcade site is 97%.
Also, is it worth it to put in the 3rd coin if the progressive is near reset ($1000)?
2nd coin = $500
3rd coin = progressive
Seems to keep variance low to stick to 2coins?
Casino is advertising 98% but I can't find any info on it.

Why would you want to keep variance low when playing a -EV game?
You have a 98% return. To keep variance as low as possible, just write the casino a check for 2% of the amount of coin-in you plan to do and don't play at all.
They have an edge. Variance is your only chance of winning.
Most Blazing 7's machines are what we call 'Buy a Pay' meaning that more combinations pay when playing each coin. Check the paytable and see if the third coin makes other pays available. In either case it is still probably better to play the third coin. 98% doesn't surprise me at all for some $1 Blazing 7's. In the old days that used to be one of the best paying games in any casino.
98% sounds high. Any idea how often the progressive hits?

I was told by Doug Reul, a highly knowledgeable AP, that the frequency of the top line hit was 16X16X16 = 4096 on these Blazing Sevens progressives. Pros played the dollar ones at about $1500. Meter strength has a lot to do with the play.

Interesting, thanks Mickey.
If each reel is 1/16 it should not take too much data to verify.

If you have a 97% payback game and add 1% of the coin-in to the progressive meter, it is effectively a 98% game.
However, it lists a top payback of 97.18%. It also says that the jackpot resets at $1500 so I'm not sure if we are talking about the same machine.
If it was set to 97.18% and the jackpot reset at $1500, and it was $3 per bet, the game would be break-even at $1846.52. If it was set to 87.68% (the lowest payback listed on the arcadehistory page) the game would be break-even at $3013.88.

Agreed. It's definitely possible it hasn't changed over the years, but I would clock them just in case myself.
