You're right! Something did change on May 18.Dave, is it possible to set your graphs to show the jackpot over 6 months (for example)?
The rate of increase of jackpot changed significantly sometime in April or May. This used to show up on the slotcharts graph but I can't get the yearly graph to load there, only the 90-day. So I can't see this change anymore. I believe the change in rate conincides with the withdrawal of the game.
I believe Microgaming feeds the jackpots by some default amount each minute.If the game has been missing this long, how could it possibly be climbing in the jackpot amount...that doesn't even make any sense? It should only be climbing if it is being played.

Before May 18, yes. After May 18, it seems to grow at 1/5 the rate. The change in the last 5 days is $864.The default is 1 cent per second... so I would guess that if it is unable to retrieve fresh data, it will just continue to go up at 1 cent per second.
That would be $36 an hour, or $864 a day - does that correspond with your graph?
So have we got a ghostpot here? A phantom jackpot rising daily deep in the bowels of Microgaming towers?
This sounds like a job for VinylWeatherMan .
