I don't know how many times this has happened to me, but it's a significant number. I can remember exactly where I was and when.
I sit down at a bank or bar full of linked progressives, by myself, and start to clock the meter rate. It's usually simple, run $20 coin-in through the machine and note how much the jackpot went up.
But once in a while, I'm in like $18, and it has not gone up even ONE penny! And I'm thinking, "What kinda tightass deal is THIS?" Over time, I have learned that if this happens with the first machine I try, I move to the next machine and try it all over again. Almost without fail the second machine rises normally. So essentially, I probably picked the ONLY machine in the bank that was defective to start my tracking. And this has happened to me a lot.
Do you suppose this is by accident? Or should I be paranoid and start thinking that some casinos do this frequently on purpose, leaving one (or more) machines in a bank that will never add to the meter rise. I don't know why they would do that.
Like I said, I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, which just seems odd and unlikely.
