INTRODUCTION
1 Introduction
The present document is a user manual created for the ‘Jackpot Manager’ application. The application is
designed to manage Jackpots (Normal Progressive, Mystery Progressive and Lucky Chance) within the
MyACP System. The application is intended for the employees responsible for the following operations:
• Creating new Jackpots (Normal Progressive, Mystery Progressive and Lucky Chance);
• Configuring Jackpot parameters;
• Setting Jackpot schedule;
• Defining groups of gaming machines for Jackpot drawing;
• Setting actions to be performed after Jackpot hit;
• Analysing Jackpot contributions;
• Generating reports.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Jackpot - Prize money accumulated at the expense of Operator, which, as a rule, unites
several gaming machines and is drawn within one (‘Local Jackpot’) or several
(‘Global Jackpot’) gaming locations. One cannot define the machine and fix the
date of Jackpot hit beforehand. The winning amount can be ‘Fixed’ (which can
also be a non-monetary prize) or ‘Progressive’. The fixed amount (or prize) is
defined by the Operator. The progressive amount increases constantly from the
minimum start amount adding a certain percentage of the player bet right up to
the Jackpot hit. Once a player wins a Jackpot, this Jackpot resets to a minimum
amount. The minimum amount is set at Operator’s will. The accumulation speed
depends on the number of gaming machines connected to the Jackpot, player
activity and Jackpot contributions.
Lucky Chance Jackpot - A Jackpot type with fixed winning amount (monetary or non-monetary prize).
The number of possible prizes, number of drawings per day, start time and
duration are defined by the Operator. The Jackpot schedule is displayed on the
informational signs accompanied by sound signals. The Lucky Chance Jackpot
information replaces temporally the information on the Progressive Jackpot
displayed on the sign. Moreover, a Mystery Progressive Jackpot drawing can be
suspended during a Lucky Chance Jackpot drawing.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Hot Jackpot - A feature which informs players via the sign indicators that the Jackpot is about
to hit, which allows the Operator to inspire players to bet more.

INFORMATION
Two options can be set:
• Transfer into Credit – Jackpot hit amount is transferred to the credit of the gaming
machine without personnel assistance. It is usually used for small wins.
• LockUp – the gaming machine is locked after Jackpot hit. It is usually used for bigger
wins. To pay out the winning amount to the player and to unlock the gaming machine,
it is necessary to call attendant.
1) In the main window table, select the Jackpot for which you want to set actions.
2) Navigate to: Main Menu / Jackpot / HIT Actions or press . The 'Actions Settings [Jackpot name]
form will be displayed.

4) In the added row specify the ‘Min Hit Amount’ and ‘Max Hit Amount’ values, enable the
corresponding check boxes and click on the (Post record) button.
NOTE
The ‘Min Hit Amount’ minimum value = 1.
‘Min Hit Amount’ ≠ ‘Max Hit Amount’.
WARNING
When assigning actions to Jackpot hit intervals, make sure that these intervals go one after another.
The first ‘Max Hit Amount’ interval = 300, the second ‘Min Hit Amount’ interval = 301.
Example: there is a gap between the first ‘Max Hit Amount ‘= 300 and the second ‘Min Hit Amount’
= 400 interval. If the Jackpot hits within the 301 and 399 interval, the EGM will inform on the Jackpot
hit but the Jackpot will not be transferred to the credit of the EGM or paid out to a player in some
other way. The same will happen if no actions are assigned to the Jackpot, or not all winning
intervals are defined.
