How does somebody going south void a jackpot? Have you seen a jackpot not be paid because of this? Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I suspect most jackpot voiding rules are simply to keep the lotto-chasers in line. A lot easier and with less argument or aquarium-tapping to say "voids jackpot" than to give the real reasons for things.

But then, I wouldn't put it past some floor to become convinced of their own bull-hooey.

I have seen a Jackpot get voided due to someone ratholing, I was on the next table and needless to say that people were upset. I don't know the reasoning behind it, but I saw it happen.

Since I'm in kind of a bitchy mood, I'd like to point out that you haven't seen a jackpot get voided because of someone ratholing. Hearing about it from the next table while people were yelling and likely don't know what they were talking about doesn't count. If you don't know the reason, I don't really believe you can be that confident that it was because of ratholing.

Well, when I'm in the 5 seat and the floorman is standing less than 2 feet away from me behind the dealer at the next table and says "I'm sorry but this jackpot has been voided due to seat 7 not keeping all his chips on the table" I think that qualifies me as to seeing it happen.
