💵 Playing Jackpot with Cash

Want to raise the stakes? Play Jackpot using real money instead of game chips.

The Jackpot Card Game and Board Game are designed to use chips for casual, strategic fun—but if your group is looking for more excitement, you can easily substitute real cash for chips.

🧠 How It Works

Replace Chips with Small Bills:
Players bring cash in small denominations ($1, $5, $10, $20) to act as their chip supply.
Pay Dues with Cash:
Before each round, players contribute cash directly to the Jackpot Bag based on the dues amount determined by the dealer’s die roll.
Pay Taxes with Cash:
If a player rolls a match to another player’s suit, they must pay the tax in cash, calculated by rolling one die and multiplying it by the dues amount.
Win the Jackpot in Cash:
When a player rolls a full match to their suit and calls “Jackpot,” they win the entire pot of collected cash.

🎯 Example

Dealer rolls a 4 → Dues are $20.
Each player pays $20 cash into the Jackpot Bag.
Player A rolls and matches Player B’s suit.
- Player A rolls a 3 on the tax die.
- Player A must pay $60 cash ($20 × 3) to Player B.
If Player C rolls and matches their own suit, they shout “Jackpot!” and win all the cash in the pot.

⚖️ Guidelines for Cash Play

Set Expectations Before You Start:
All players must agree to cash play, dues structure, and maximum loss limits.
Play Responsibly:
Jackpot cash play is intended for friendly games among consenting adults. Never wager more than you are willing to lose.
Legal Compliance:
Ensure cash games are legal in your area and comply with local laws regarding private gaming and cash handling.
No Borrowing:
Players must pay dues and taxes immediately from their available cash. Failure to pay results in elimination, just like with chips.

🚨 Important Reminder

Jackpot is built for entertainment. Real money play should always be respectful, voluntary, and among trusted groups. Gamble responsibly.
