Supported Jackpot Types

Local Area Progressive Jackpots
In the case of a Local Area Progressive Jackpot, the machine generates the hit event (i.e. a specific combination of win symbols). This event is forwarded to the Jackpot Engine, which calculates the final jackpot hit value. Typically, only the machine with the jackpot hit is locked but the system can be set to lock all participating machines to create more of an atmosphere in the casino. Once the jackpot on the hit machine is reset, the machines that were locked are unlocked and the next cycle of the jackpot is started.

Local Area "Mystery" Jackpots
The Local Area "Mystery" Jackpot is provided by the same software and hardware architecture as the Local Area Progressive Jackpot. The main difference is that the Jackpot Engine generates the hit instead of the slot machine. The hit is triggered when the jackpot value reaches the Mystery threshold. The contributing game (respective slot machine), which increases the jackpot to or over this value wins the jackpot.
