  • Patent number: 10636245
    Abstract: In a casino environment including one or more gaming machines each operating one or more standalone progressive (SAP) jackpots defined by local SAP controllers, a system is set forth whereby the SAP jackpot information is additionally determined at a backend system. To synch the system and local controller determined values a mobile device is configured to display the system derived values which can be adjusted at a user interface at the mobile device to match the local controller derived values.
