Good question. No I'm not a paid consultant for M. I get a modest monthly fee from them for having them as a show sponsor, which is for the advertisement we do on the radio show and my web-site.
As to why I was trying to make the bank more enduring, it is for the same reason I thought it up and pitched it in the first place; for the posters out there that asked me to bring back fast progressives. Seemed like a good idea to me since this was what I used to do for a living back before 2001.
Also, once I start something I like to finish it...work ethic.
If the concept works at M there is the chance that this type of progressive will spread to other venues. I was working under the impression that this would be good for everyone. Here's my logic.
The people that like it can play them.
The people that don't like them can ignore them.
Seemed like a win/win to me.
And to those out there that have pointed out that to put these machines in, something else they may have played had to be removed, keep this in mind: When putting in new machines casinos pick games scheduled for removal to replace. This means even if your favorite machine gets replaced with a franknbob progressive it would have been replaced with something else in the event these didn't exist.
If not our progressive it might have been Jackpot Party machines.
Hope that clears things up.

Just out of curiosity, are you now a consultant for M? Is this a paying gig? It just seems to me that you are devoting your life to this cause.
