The winner of a jackpot would be the highest score in a game during a certain amount of time, say a half hour: of all the players hooked in to the network there could be graduated payouts for first, second and third place for that one period of play.

This of course would attract serious pin ball players and AP's.
I like it...Unfortunately, there would eventually be 2 things that could/would happen. Only a few of the top players would get all the money most of the time or there would be so many AP/pro's playing that it wouldn't be worth it.


I would love to see some linked progressives or banking type of machines online. I would have someone build me a program to alert me whenever it got to a number I wanted to play it at. The problem is, it would probably only be good for a short period of time. Not to mention, they now have everything they need right there to figure out exactly what you are doing and how much you are making. And now you are back to multi accounting. It wouldn't take long for them to identify someone as an AP and ban their account. You could put cover play in and try to hide it but that only goes so far. But, who knows, theres always some golden opportunity just around the corner.
