Same type of slot rigging going on here at the Oregon coast. I have watched the techs reset a machine so that the jackpot continues to grow and they take in more money. They have one $ machine that won't pay out the jackpot till it takes in over a quarter mill. Then they also had a group of 6 tied together where the jackpot got to $30K and they moved them and reset them back to $1K. Your right Kirk, they can do whatever they like.
