This is based on the jackpots about 11AM on Oct 18, 2022. Here is my analysis of just the $5 progressive bet. The base bet required was $15 or $25 at all properties except Caesars, where it was $50 and $100. I did not check the properties south of Flamingo or the Rio. I can confirm it is at Caesars, Cromwell, Linq, Flamingo and Harrah's. This opportunity is on Face Up Pai Gow Poker.

However, I show the expected loss on the base game is $0.68. The lower right cell shows the expected return from a $5 bet is $8.20.

There are various versions of the pay table, for but now I'll assume the one below. I hear the minimum for the base bet is $25 and the side bet is a flat $5. I have an unconfirmed report the Fortune pai gow poker jackpot at Harrah's (Las Vegas) is at $3.5 million.
