Current through Register Vol. 50, page 159, June 17, 2024
Section 20:18:17:24.01 - Linked machines

Each device on the link shall have the same probability of winning the progressive jackpot, adjusted for the denomination played. For instance, the probability shall remain the same for multiple denomination games based on the monetary value of the wager.

If all gaming devices connected to a link progressive system do not offer the same maximum bet value, all such gaming devices must equalize the expected value of winning the progressive jackpot by setting the odds of winning the progressive jackpot in proportion to the amount wagered on each device, or by requiring the same wager value on each device to win the progressive jackpot. The method of equalizing the expected value of winning the progressive jackpot shall be conspicuously displayed on each device connected to the system.

A variance of no greater than .005% from the target value established for the mixed maximum bet progressive Multi-Link system is acceptable.
