I was there yesterday as well, and here's what I've gathered:
1) High Hand bonus is for the whole month, every hour, and only for tables that pay the jackpot bonus. (1/2 and 2/5 nl and 3/6 LHE)
2) Quad 2s or better to qualify, you don't need a PP for your quads to qualify, but your kicker must play.
3) 4-card str8 flushes (4 cards on the board + 1 of your hole cards) also qualify, but this next part I'm a little unsure about, and that is I think only if your non-playing card is higher than the lowest card in your str8 flush will your hand qualify. Example: you have 88, and make a 6789T str8 flush, you qualify. If you have 57 and make a 789TJ str8 flush you do not qualify. Again, I'm sketchy on this so maybe someone else can confirm.
4) $100/hr payout rolls over to the next hour if it isn't hit. $250 bonus for a Royal Flush
5) They're using 2 monitors (one on each side of the main room) to show the current high hand, the previous hour's high hand, and the time remaining till it restarts. (pretty much at the top of each hour)
I did not find out whether the bonus goes into your stack and remains in play or not. No one at our table ever qualified for the 6+ hours I was there. While I was in the room the lowest hand that won was quad 5s and highest was a K-high str8 flush.
Overall, I like this new change, giving our money back to us in smaller chunks like this as opposed to monster-sized BBJs that may or may not make it back into circulation.
