These are VERY good suggestions on how M can increase its general clientèle. However the Southpoint only has two very average progressives that get playable once in a blue moon. I have played them thrice in the last year.
Our goal with the NEW M progressive was to try something "new".
Since as you pointed out Southpoint has already gone the lots of games between 99-100 it would not be an original idea.
I will certainly pass along your thoughts, but they aren't a solution that will help the progressive last and multiply. Good advice for M...not helpful to the task at hand.
The M specifically is secondary to the game concept itself, which we hope will be adopted by other casinos in the future, if it is successful at M.
How about this: To keep us on track, let's eliminate all discussion of its current location. Imagine the progressive is in casino X, which has no other games of any kind. The only way to improve it is to alter "it" in some way.
