It actually makes sence and is fair for all players playing the machine high roller or low roller.

However, it still does not predict the outcome of when the random jackpot will hit, so the the pot would grow and the higher wagering players would just increase the random jackpot even more.
Here's one that seems unfair, and I don't want to change the subject, but, when random jackpots do get high players are more likely to play them more. High rollers and low rollers. If a low roller hits the random jackpot "more power to that considering X's wager" the high roller is the one who takes the big lost because of amount invested.

Point being! Maybe in RTG casinos there should be two types of Random jackpot machines high rollers only and low rollers only. Just a thought!



At about 200,000,000 to one in some lotteries you better have allot of investors...

True, for an individual instance, but taken over many RJ hits, this indicates that what is happening at Rushmore simply shouldn't be happening at all!

Although there will be times when the RJ makes it to a very high value before hitting, there should also be times where it hits far earlier than one might think. This is what is NOT happening at Rushmore, they are ALL making it to high values before hitting. Whatever mechanism is being used to control the RJs there is NOT the standard RTG one, Rushmore appear to have a custom "tweaked" RTG casino, this is not the kind of thing players necessarily feel comfortable with.
If I play, say, Thunderstruck, at one MG and then at another, I may lose at one, and win at another. I do, however, expect that Thunderstruck is the same game wherever I play it, and with each spin I am taking the same risks, and getting the same chances. This is not the case when playing for RJs at Rushmore.
Some players probably like having RJs build up so high, making them more like the big progressives, but others might be unhappy about the sheer level of optional tweaking that RTG software seems to allow individual operators.
