********************************
Jackson has 3 way progressives (RF, STFL, and Quads) at the
bar (near over-priced burger joint) in $1 and $0.25
denominations. The $1 are 9/6 JOB and $0.25 are 8/5 JOB with
about 7 or 8 seats for each jackpot, respectively.
The meter movement for the $0.25 are not "very fast" as someone
mentioned earlier. I couldn't time the meter movement due to
other players but the RF meter moved considerably slower than the
STFL or Quads. For example, someone took down a STFL for $220
and a couple of hours later, the STFL jackpot was back at $180 --
keep in mind the reset value is $61.25. The RF meter never
matched the STFL's movement. Please put a caveat on the "very
fast meter" since that comment is highly subjective. Also, these
0.25 machines offer "autoplay" which makes the correct choices
most of the time.
Jackson has a current promotion that gives you free play for gas
purchased at its General Store. The promo is good Mon-Thur,
limit of $75 in gas and the store is right off Highway 88, past
Highway 49. If you have a player's card, then you also save
$0.10 per gallon. If you come via Ridge Road to NY Ranch Road
(the traditional method), then prepare to drive an extra 2 to 3
miles on "Dalton road" to the General Store and then drive back
to the casino. It's a nice gas station with a clean bathroom, a
chance to buy snacks or hot beverages on the way back to the bay
are or on the way to Tahoe. They also have prepared sandwiches
and hot food with tables and chairs making this a great rest-stop
in the area.
At Jackson every $600 in coin-in is 300 points for video poker
and you can get $1 in free play per 300 points at selected
machines OR get $1 worth of comps at selected restaurants. That
comes to 0.166% (1/600) in comps or free play.
Lastly, Jackson also offers a RV park and I thought that might
help somone.
