I don't even know that the machine in question was a Platinum, the reset values don't seem right, for one thing. I started preliminary work on a different title once, but nothing really looked promising enough about the machines for me to continue.

Thanks, but I have only done any real work on Quick Hit Platinum. Hopefully Mission sees this as he has done a lot of work on Quick Hits. How did this happen? Obviously a fast meter and a lot of players who 'short-coin'. I even called over the slot tech to show her. If you didn't know that, well, now you do. Apparently if there is a 'bigger small' jackpot, the machine will pay it off if you hit the one above. Maybe some other players knew this already but I did not. Of course, I don't play this every day but still I've never seen this before. Suddenly it dawns on me, the machine has given me the BOTTOM jackpot, the 5-hit jackpot, even though the reels show 6. A little disappointed but I'll take anything the machine will give me. About twenty minutes later, I hit the 6 again.

I continue playing while thinking to myself that I'd rather hit the 5 instead of the 6. Yep, the bottom jackpot is actually higher than the second one. I debate quitting but talk myself into trying for the 'easy' one. I first hit 6 Quick Hits and knock that out of the way. 5 Quick Hits is paying almost $300, re-sets to $60. 6 Quick Hits is paying almost $500, re-sets to $200. I sat down to a Bally's Quick Hits machine.
