Title: Need Help setting up Bally Hot Shot Progressives
Post by: Magicslots on April 01, 2013, 05:41:20 PM
Thanks to others here, I found out how to get into the progressives menu via the Comm page.

My problem is that no matter what figure  I set, the progressives always show as INVALID...

I have cleared the machine multiple times, and no matter the numbers or the % settings...same message!  :30-

Hot SHots is set up as follows:

20000
2000
200
100
20

Your percentages are too low.  You have less than 1% for all of them.  Make then all 1.25%.  This is for a 1 cent machine, 20 lines

The numbers and percentages were not my choice, the owner who was putting it in a game room wanted those figure..
Is there a minimum spread required?  Percentage??

Yes, you can use 10000, 1000, 100, 50 and 10 too. You just can not use any numbers. If you compare to the other numbers I gave you, you can see there is a specific pattern here for them.  As for percentage contribution   I have mine set to 1%, 2%, 3%, 3% and 3% (high to lowest progressive)
