I have been informed that "flattop" does indeed refer to a
non-progressive video poker game.
I didn't know that.
When I return from today's VP wars, I'm going to explore this
subject further for Glossary purposes.

The only reference that I am aware of using the term flat top is in
the Late Lenny Frome's book where he refers to vp games that have a
max jackpot limit of "x" dollars legislated by various
jurisdictions. Thus the term flat top refering to the fact that
the max for a royal (usually) is set by law and not by conventional
paytable.

I've just added "flat-top" to the vpFREE Glossary as follows:
"Flat-top
1. A non-progressive video poker game.
2. Another term for a slant-top or bartop video poker machine."

Another reference for use of the term "flattop" is Paymar's VP
Optimum Play. If you look up flattop in the index you will see the
page where Dan describes a flattop as a non-progressive machine.

Just a quick note: Does it really matter what Angela called the
machine? It's the only DW progressive at the Palms. Shouldn't we
just be happy such a nice lady hit the Royal? I am.
