6.2.9 Jackpot Recovery. To enable recovery of the current value of the progressive jackpot
amount(s) in the case of a Gaming Platform or jackpot controller failure, either:
a) The current value of the progressive amount must be stored in at least two physically
separate devices, or
b) The current value of the progressive amount must be able to be accurately calculated
from other available metering information, which is not stored in the same Gaming
Platform as the progressive amount.
In either case, all eligible jackpot winners must be paid as soon as the value is recovered.
6.2.10 Jackpot Contributions. The rules of the game must clearly specify how the contributions
to the jackpot pool are made (based on turnover, net balance of each operator contributing to a
multi-operator pool, etc).
6.2.11 Multi-Operator Jackpots. Multi-operator Jackpots will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
6.2.12 Jackpot Accounting. If the calculation of gross revenue for taxation purposes allows for
jackpot contributions to be totally deductible (as opposed to deducting jackpot prizes when paid),
the Gaming Platform must provide adequate reconciliation to ensure that all jackpot increments
deducted:
a) Have been paid to players as prizes; or
b) Are displayed as part of prizes; or
c) Are held in accountable reserves (which can be demonstrated) to be paid to players in the
future, (i.e. as part of future prizes).
