staz-

Looking at the PSR for my machine, it looks like it's possible, but you'd have to install a second "jackpot reset"-type keyswitch.  Here's what my PSR says -- of course it may/can/will vary depending on the software in your machine:

Quote
JACKPOT TO CREDIT

The purpose of this feature is to minimize the number of jackpot hand pays
that must be made with high denomination machines. To use this feature, a
second reset key must be installed on the machine.
Jackpots can be reset to the credit meter only if the following conditions are
met: The win must be equal to or greater than the jackpot limit and the win
must be less than both the credit limit and the W-2G limit. If, in the W-2G
controller menu, the reset option is configured to “SAS Controller” the
jackpot cannot be reset until authorization is sent to the machine by the SAS
system, and the operator must turn the second reset key to place the win on
the credit meter. If the reset option is set to “USER Controller,” system
authorization is not required, and the operator has the option of turning the
first reset key to hand pay the win, or turning the second reset key to reset it
to the credit meter. Whenever the jackpot does not meet the eligibility
requirements, the operator must hand pay it.

You can have it do a partial pay as well.
The rest would still disappear as they do now.
I have my S+ set up this way.

how hard would it be trying to install a second jackpot key?

Here are two threads. I don't think we ever got a final answer for the iGame, but it does appear that Ken (OhioGaming) did have an answer for the S2000 as to where the extra wire went. Wayne also posted a wiring diagram for the switches themselves and Ken said that his setup matched it.

Both are in the first thread:

Here's the second:
