				  Notwithstanding the payout odds in subsections (b)-(d), a certificate holder
				  may, in its rules submission under § 601a.2, establish a maximum amount
				  that is payable to a player on a single hand. The maximum payout amount shall
				  be at least $50,000 or the maximum amount that one player could win per round
				  when betting the minimum permissible wager, whichever is greater. Any maximum
				  payout limit established by a certificate holder may not apply to progressive
