<<<<No, my wish was for "standalone" progressives, meaning each machine
has its own progressive jackpot, for each denomination of play.
Hitting that jackpot has no impact on the progressives next to it, or
the progressive amount of the other denominations on the same
machine. This entirely eliminates the problem of "team" play as
applied to banks of machines feeding a single progressive (or
multiple progressives).>>>>>>>>>
Sorry, I misunderstood your premise. I still see a problem. Remember
when Piggy Bankin' first came out and slot vultures were born? If the
progressive gets too high video poker vultures will swarm in and try to
intimidate the person playing the machine to leave through rude behavior
or other devious tactics. Don't believe it will happen. I've seen some
pretty despicable behavior at progressive banks with a high jackpot
including shoving to get a vacated seat. Casinos tired of the practice
with Piggy Bankin' and the format of the game was changed. There was a
discussion a short while ago on one of these groups about a Deuces Wild
machine of the format that you describe at Fiesta Rancho where a couple
was accused of monopolizing the machine until they hit the jackpot and
resulted in a lot of feelings of injustice. I really don't think most
casinos want all this grief when patrons are satisfied with flattops.
Just my opinion, I know I don't enjoy playing under these conditions.
