Ask the Slot Expert: Can Casinos Cap Progressives? 5 November 2014

By John Robison, Slot Expert

Last week we had a question about finding a shirt with Bally's Quick Hit logo for the reader's husband. I wrote that I wasn't aware of Bally's ever making Quick Hit logo shirts for a promotion and asked readers if they knew of a source for the shirts.

A number of readers wrote to say that the logo image is very easy to find online (just Google "Quick Hit logo") and that a custom T-shirt store could make a shirt for her.

I didn't suggest making her own shirt because I'm sure that Bally's has all the legal protections possible for its artwork.

Is it legal for a casino (Indian or otherwise) to cap their progressives?

Certain games on bar machines at Potawatomi Carter casino have progressive video poker, but they cap the royal flush on quarter games at $3,000.

How can they do that? If it's a progressive they should keep it going. Last year they capped their $1 video poker progressive at $10,000.

What happens to all the extra revenue that they earn/win from people playing the progressive? It sure doesn't get added to the starting jackpot of the next progressive.

Even if it is legal, it's sure not ethical or right.
