I've always been curious about what would happen in such a case,
particularly when the "all" is particularly high, such as when the one
at the South Point went over $100,000 a few years ago. I assume the
casino would start out trying to pay the sum of the 3 meters and then,
depending on how hard the player argued, probably eventually be
ordered to pay the "all," even if their intent was for it to be only
paid on a dealt. Assuming the player stands pat on a king high
straight flush, the "all" including being drawn to reduces the cycle
from 649,740 to 648,279 and out of 445 such jackpots, 1 will be drawn
to.
