What advances the Jack Pot to 4 million that is illuminated on the left side of the backglass?

#2 2 years ago

Every time you hit a roll over switch above the pops, it advances your jackpot value. It maxes out at 4 mil, and this carries over from game to game until someone hits it.

I believe factory default is 5000 per roll over. When you start a new game I believe it tells the player the current jackpot value in effect.

Do you know of any backbox locks for this game?

That's not occurring. It stays flashing at 2 million.

Usually when you start a new game is says in alpha numeric "jackpot value is xxxxx"

Also, if you read your instruction card it tells you how the rollovers increase your gate bonus for jackpot.

Backbox... locks? Lock is on the right side head, my dude.

That's odd. The current number should flash, so that is correct. Not sure is there is a setting to lock in a specific jackpot amount. I think people might do that for competitions, but thought they used special roms for that.

Does your jackpot got down to 1/2 million after you get one?

I'm away this week, so can't test anything, sorry.

Sounds like he got it to grow to 2 mil from the standard 1.5 and isn't sure the rules nuances.

OK, I now see that the roll overs score 5000 each towards the jack pot. The 4 million is highly impossible to hit as the Comet will award the present jack pot and then reset back to 1/2 mill.
Yes, the lock on the back box, head, light box, or whatever one refers to it as. Looking for replacement.

Being a home environment, I've raised my rollovers to be more potent. I've got them set for 25,000 per roll over! That way you'll actually see that jackpot grow faster since you don't have tons of people in public doing it for you as it normally would have.

I am not experienced with changing the settings as I am an EM collector. I do have on order a new display unit as player 4 does not operate. I read online that you need to see the info displayed on player 4 to correctly change the settings. Also have a manual on order.
Thanks for the input.
