A ticket that wins the jackpot pays the whole $16,896. Nearly every other ticket gets none of the gold part. We count one jackpot at today's amount. The other 22 jackpot tickets left in this game are not counted yet. The jackpot starts over each time it is won, and we have not yet seen where this one starts.
The jackpot on Baccarat is $16,896 right now.
Each dot is one of our checks. If the line ever drops, somebody won the jackpot and it started over.

It's the average return for every $1 played, counting every ticket still in the pool and every prize still unclaimed. Most tickets don't win, so any one ticket will land above or below it.
