To me, adding up/collecting a bonus takes a series of skill/accuracy shots to accomplish.
A jackpot is usually something I think of collecting in multi-ball on various games -- but I do not know how many games are set up that way. While it may take a series of skill shots to collect multi-ball the jackpot is usually one specific shot. . .
Clear as mud, eh? 
Quoted from metallik:I think he's saying that, the act of bulding a bonus and collecting it on an older game is about the same as building a jackpot on a newer game and collecting it.
This is how I was thinking -- my classic Stern allows you to build/collect a bonus but my newer IJ, DH, Rollergames, etc. all have Jackpots during the multi ball.
This kind of reminds me of that other thread. . . do you hear Lenny or Yarrow? 
Quoted from mof:I almost lost a dear friend today over deciding whether game X has a Jackpot shot or a Bonus Collect.
Might I ask what game prompted the discussion?
