No, it had gone 2 days previously. It was on 3160 abouts. Still, would have been a nice raise !!

Does it just randomly give you platinum or does it block it??

in my experience, in a DEAD casino, you can tell which level it it will give. had gold a few times since october (opening) AFAIK no noone has hit platinum and it is still barely at 3,500.

It randomly predetermines what it will give.. Same as pots of gold I suppose.

One serious point to note, the casinos can turn of the fort knox trigger and determine what progressive to give, the top progressive can stay fixed at 4k for 2 months+ sometimes. Still fun to play and gold is still great!

I don't think they can do that - it would break the terms of the game which state that it is awarded randomly. I've seen 2 platinums in one night as well, but they are obviously uber-rare.

The new progressive one is quite good on the gaminators. It tells you "Mega Prize must be won before it reaches 3,950" for example.. So you know that in the next xxx pot increase, that pot will be awarded.

One of my friends had an experience at our local, he played at £2 per spin and put over £300 through and complained that the copper pot was over £90 and with over about £400 recycled never got a pot, anyway he complained to the slot manager, he went out back and said " ill see what I can do" in about £20 he got a silver pot.

Ive only see the new gaminator progressive at Star City and Casino at the empire, quite good, the star city one had a win wall video screen on the side lol.

Hah ! Your friend got off lightly. My wife did £700 in one last night and never once got a pot.

The Fort Knox in local went twice in a week near hear...usually drops ~3.5k though day times there are these three older ladies who hoard the 4 units to themselves. They play the long game, low stakes and cycle to get the Pots...They have had the gold and platinum so many times but yet still whine when someone else gets a silver lol
