Progressive slot payouts may grow
By Cy Ryan, Las Vegas Sun
CARSON CITY — Players of progressive slot machines may see bigger jackpots in the future thanks to some companies’ desire to compete with large lottery payouts in other states.
The three-member Nevada Gaming Control Board conducted a workshop Wednesday on a petition by IGT and Bally Technology to change regulations that aim at get more players to spend their money on the progressive machines.
The proposed amended regulation would allow a Nevada company with a network of progressive machines to tie the Nevada progressive machines into the slots owned by the company in other states where gambling is legal.
