Confession: I play slot machines very rarely and usually only to fulfill social obligations such as when I go on a gambling trip with some people who think that gambling means playing slot machines.

The WMS inc Monopoly Money progressive jackpot is now at about 156,000.00 in Mississippi and an acqaintance will be playing it at the Silver Slipper in Bay St. Louis soon. She will also be going to a number of casinos in Biloxi (probably IP, Grand, Beau Rivage and Boomtown).

If she wants to find which of the machines are linked to these progressives such as the Reel Adventures, will it be easy? I understand that many different named machines in different casinos are all linked to these progressives but there are other progressives as well. I understand that Reel Adventures progressive amount is now about five and a half million dollars but over a dozen different named games are part of that progressive.

I'd like to give her a list of casinos and a list of which slot machines in each casino are the progressives but don't know if this is necessary or not. She can't focus too well on flashing signs but will the various slot employees know which machines are linked to these progressives? Would they be likely to help out someone with vision problems or should I develop the list. Many casinos have helpful employees but I simply just don't know anything about the slots department.

Given her vision problems, it is unlikely she would be able to spend much time reading the rules about various complex bonus spins or the like and she does prefer simple things like "insert money and press minimum bet button". So I would also like to know if some of these progressive games such as Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers are simply too complex for her limited ability to focus on the rules.

I think this page:

WMS Wide Area Progressive Jackpot Totals

Gives you some of the information you are looking for. Just click on the "Real Adventures" bar to see both the games and jackpot amounts in different states.

Thanks. That is a great help. I will now try to figure out which exact games are at which casinos, so I can get her some large-type instructions for a particular machine. She and her friends will be visiting eight casinos on their trip.

I don't think the manufacturers keep close tabs on where the games are because the casino's can change them out pretty quickly. But some casino's do.

You can find games by name at Caesars at this link.

You can see what Boyd has at the Borgata here.
I don't know of any others that have that feature.
