Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1800.2070 - Progressive Meters
a) Any
video gaming terminal featuring progressive jackpots that does not comply with
the Act and this Section shall not be deployed or offered for patron play. All
provisions of this Section apply to both progressive meters within individual
video gaming terminals and progressive meters within linked progressive jackpot
controllers.
b) No video gaming
terminal progressive meter shall be manually set for any reason except as
permitted or required by this Section.
c) The central communications system shall
provide for recording stored value. Stored value is a progressive jackpot
amount that has accumulated in the central communications system but has not
been awarded as a prize. Stored value amounts shall be associated with a
specific, single video gaming location license. Stored value shall not be
transferrable between video gaming location licenses.
d) Upon initial installation of a video
gaming terminal at a location, all progressive meters shall be at their minimum
default value, except in the case where the location has stored value. Any
stored value shall be applied to a newly installed video gaming terminal
progressive meter to the maximum permitted by the video gaming terminal, and
deducted from the stored value amount.
e) Upon removal of a video gaming terminal
from a location when that video gaming terminal has greater than the minimum
default value on its progressive meters, that value shall be transferred to one
or more video gaming terminal progressive meters at the same location. If the
amount of the progressive meter value exceeds the maximum capacity of all video
gaming terminal progressive meters at the location, the remaining value shall
be added to the location's stored value amount.
f) On at least a quarterly basis, each
terminal operator shall identify any active video gaming locations it serves
with a non-zero stored value. For each identified location, the terminal
operator shall transfer the maximum possible stored value to one or more video
gaming terminal progressive meters at that location.
g) A video gaming terminal progressive meter
may only be manually set in the following circumstances:
1) To restore a meter to its previous value
prior to a system failure or maintenance which required clearing the
meter;
2) To move a meter value
from a video gaming terminal which is being removed from a location to another
video gaming terminal at the same location;
3) To apply stored meter value to a video
gaming terminal;
4) To clear the
progressive meter of any video gaming terminal being removed from a location;
or
5) For any other cause not
expressly prohibited by this Section after prior approval by the
Administrator.
