It's got to be against regulations though for a game with stored equity.
I've hit many jackpots in the 40k to 100k range and never had anyone ever reset my machine.
I've either played it off or refused to play it off.
Must be a per property thing or something new.
In some places, that jackpot wouldn't even be a hand pay if you're on Fast Pay.
In other places, like the El Cortel they take the hard drive to the back room and check it for a 10k or higher jackpot lol.
If you hit a large jackpot in some downtown properties, on graveyard, they literally make you wait till the day shift Mechanics/IT Guys come in.
That's a pain, IMO.
