With the carryover closing in on $1 million, we expect that on Wednesday or Thursday, Gulfstream will announce a mandatory Rainbow 6  payout for this Saturday or Sunday.

Until last year, Gulfstream often let Rainbow 6 carryovers grow to $2 million or more--seting up days with $5 million or more in Rainbow 6 bets..

Then, it began declaring mandatory payouds when the carryover waas approachng 1 milion
