Can you modify a progressive schedule?

[Jim]

I have a Bally Alpha, Black Gold Quick hits machine.  have the machine up and working, my question is this: when I set  the progressive according to "B"  the amounts are, 30.00, 150.00, 300.00, 3000.00, and 7500.00.   max bet is 300 set at .01.  how can I change the values, I want them to be 30,60, 90, 300. 1200.   can this be done or is it a function of the program?   I did try and set them to the values, get the prompt, invalid progressive amount.   I'm not sure if there is a certain way to do this or is there a ratio that you have to adhere too?


Any help would be appreciated or advise.

You have to adhere to the progressive guidelines, otherwise you will always get the invalid progressive amount error.  Once you set the progressives, you can edit the current progressive to higher amounts, but not lower than what the "reset" amounts is (which is the one specified in the progressive charts guidelines).

That's what I was afraid of!


Thanks Rick.

Here one way to do it.

Yes, you can go higher, you just can't go lower.  Once you setup the progressive to guidelines, you can go back and edit the "current jackpot" for each jackppot lever and put whatever you want on the value as long as it is not lower than the guideline.  So you could in essence put 1 Million on the 5 quick hit jackpot if you wanted, it 's plausible, though unlikely, that a long time goes by without hitting the 5 quick hit jackpot enough to accumulate it to $1 Million.
