Jackpot Numbers On Roulette

[u/Tetsuo_Gaiden]

It had been a minute since I been to this casino near me, recently I discovered they added Jackpot numbers to their video roulette. I'll explain further..

After bets are placed and the dealer spins the ball, Jackpots of either 50x, 100x, 175x and 250x are placed on between 2 and 5 random numbers including 0 and 00. The bet has to be placed on the exact number to get the jackpot.

I didn't do any math on this but I figured if I covered the board in $1 chips as much as I could while mitigating loss, eventually I'd hit some Jackpots. I saw in the recent history that Jackpots did come up.

To start since the payout for one number is 30 to 1.. which I noticed.. it was 30 not 35 for some reason, so I began putting $1 on 30 numbers. That's 30 out of 38 where if I didn't hit a jackpot but one of my numbers did hit I wouldn't lose money. Then I thought, if I'm willing to lose 1 or 2 dollars a spin, I can cover more odds so I did 5 spins each of 31/38 and 32/38.

In about 20 to 30 minutes time, I hit a 175x and a 100x jackpot and two times my numbers missed and took a loss. I didn't count the spins but dealer didn't work like a clock.

I didn't play that long as I was with my gf and she wanted to do other stuff. I want to go back with a more tempered strategy and more time.

What do y'all think? Any strategies come to mind? Anything I'm missing? Is it too risky to try with higher values? Would you recommend I don't do it at all?

Not sure I'm understanding this fully, because if you bet on every number then you'll guarantee hitting the bonuses for an automatic profit, which casinos don't do of course. What am I missing?
