Bonus System
Operate electronic bonus displays and configure jackpot contribution and payout settings.
What this module does
The bonus system is an electronic system for accepting optional additional bets that can win extra prizes. Its display can combine a table layout, current jackpot amount, promotional ticker and slideshow.
The PDF says the number of jackpots can be set as required and that contribution and payout percentages can be configured in Manager. It also describes a dynamic odometer for the current jackpot amount and promotional information on the display. Actual operation depends on the installed bonus-system components and the casino’s configuration.
