Ok.
Something has definitely changed with regards to MGS jackpots. AJ has the correct numbers for jackpots which have not been hit since Dec. 16th – but for jackpots which have been hit, the numbers are not accurate. I can tell because CashSplash (according to my site) has not been hit since the 16th, and I know that this is simply impossible.
I haven’t had time to look at the issue – but I surmise that currently the only accurate numbers are the ones shown in the casino software itself.
BB1 – AJ is a spinoff from Got2Bet – and on Got2Bet I was the first to introduce jackpot tickers with the “Choose Casino” pulldowns – which was the inspiration for Jackpot Madness, the first manufacturer-operated progressive site, which subsequently spawned the competition’s Jackpot Mania and Win A Jackpot.
The actual ticker concept, though (without pulldowns) was first seen on Microgaming’s CashSplash site. I contacted MGS about getting a data feed and they created one for me.
JF and Gaming Club were the first Microgaming operators online – thus they were the first to have the feeds after Got2Bet (although obviously they existed before Got2Bet).
