A progressive jackpot brings connected games together, increases player engagement and creates excitement across the gaming floor.
The Gaming Support Jackpot Controller (JPC) provides a central solution for operators who want to create and manage linked progressive jackpot systems. It is designed for compatible Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs) and supports configurations of up to 64 machines per controller.
One central system
The JPC acts as the central point of the jackpot installation. Connected machines contribute to one or more shared jackpot prizes, while the controller manages the jackpot system centrally.
This allows operators to create a consistent jackpot experience across multiple machines, rather than relying on separate standalone jackpot solutions.
Multi-level progressive jackpots
A linked progressive system can include several jackpot levels, each offering a different type of player reward:
• Mini Jackpot – smaller and more frequent prize opportunities
• Minor Jackpot – a larger progressive prize
• Major Jackpot – the main prize that builds excitement across the gaming floor
Multiple jackpot levels help keep the player experience active while creating a visible, attractive prize structure.
Connectivity and configuration
The Jackpot Controller is intended for use with machines compatible with the Slot Accounting System (SAS) protocol. Each machine is connected through a Serial Interface Board (SIB), providing the interface between the EGM and the central JPC.
The controller and SIBs are connected using standard Ethernet cabling and a standard network switch. These networking components can be supplied as part of the installation or sourced locally.
Scalable for your operation
Every gaming operation has different requirements. Some installations begin with a small number of machines, while others require a larger linked jackpot system from the start.
The Gaming Support Jackpot Controller can be configured for the number of machines required and expanded as the operation grows, supporting up to 64 connected EGMs per controller.
Built for engaging gaming floors.
A successful progressive jackpot system needs to be clear for players, practical for operators and reliable in daily operation.
With centralised jackpot management, flexible multi-level prize options and scalable connectivity, the Gaming Support Jackpot Controller helps operators build a more engaging linked gaming experience.
