Jackpots o'Lantern — progressive jackpot pods with tournament and happy hour modes

Jackpots o’Lantern is a progressive jackpot system from the Double Bonus Jackpot Family, built for small jackpot pods of roughly 2 to 4 machines. It runs a mystery progressive program with two independent jackpots and single-site progressive jackpots, with wide area capability listed as coming soon. The product is aimed at operators of slot floors who want jackpot management with automated accounting.

Key specifications

The system has two independent jackpots and a customisable contribution to RTP for each jackpot level, so an operator sets how much each level contributes. It is designed for pods of about 2 to 4 machines. The product is part of the Double Bonus Jackpot Family.

Architecture and compatibility

The architecture uses a central server with an individual SMIB attached to each machine. The central server acts as both jackpot controller and graphics controller. The system operates on any SAS compliant machine, and older non-SAS machines can be emulated.

Operator controls and accounting

Autodownload removes the need for manual key offs and separate accounting. Tournament mode lets the operator schedule or start a tournament period in which player spend is converted to points on a leaderboard. Happy Hour mode lets the operator schedule a random prize giveaway during which players get an added chance to win a predefined prize.

Slot operators running small pods of SAS machines get jackpot control and automated accounting from one central server. Tournament and Happy Hour scheduling are available from the same controls.
