Obviously the more they hit the less time the reserve has to grow before it becomes the 'main' jackpot.
FK had a run of 3-4 BBJs hitting quickly and I think it was under $4k when it hit for the last of those groups!
I was told, but they will never confirm (like going to Bravo) that they have gone to Gaming with a new promotional structure that may include more freedom for High Hands and such. In order to do so they must allow the current promo to 'hit' before the transition.
I thought they had a 'huge' problem at Turtle Creek in Traverse City where the BBJ hadn't hit in over 3-4 years and they were waiting for it to hit so they could change the rules. I see it's at $170K today so maybe it hit ... I thought it was up over $300K the last time I was there but perhaps I have a bad memory on that one. GL
