Progressive Jackpot
A progressive jackpot is a jackpot (a gambling grand prize or payout) which increases each time the game is played but the jackpot is ''not'' won. When the progressive jackpot is won, the jackpot for the next play is reset to a predetermined value, and resumes increasing under the same rule. Many slot machines and video poker machines feature a progressive jackpot. The jackpot increases by a small predetermined amount each time the game is played. Often multiple machines are pooled or linked together to form a larger progressive jackpot which grows more quickly because more non-winning plays can be counted toward it. Many lotteries feature progressive jackpots. After each drawing in which the jackpot is not won, a large amount of money is "carried forward" to the jackpot for next drawing. History Progressive jackpots were first introduced in large casinos in 1986. The first progressive slot machine was the famous Megabucks, developed by International Game Technology (IGT). Every ...

Jackpot! (Dave Brubeck Album)
''Jackpot!'' is a 1966 live album by Dave Brubeck, recorded at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. It was released in 1968. Reception The initial ''Billboard'' magazine review from February 1968 wrote that "Brubeck is tagged in a live workout...and he comes out ahead all the way. His pianistics are as sharp as ever and so are his efficient aides...". The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that "...this LP features eight songs built around the theme of gambling towns such as "Ace in the Hole," "Chicago" and the title cut. The music is certainly upbeat but the out-of-tune piano and crowd noises (this date was recorded live in Las Vegas) are a bit distracting. It's strictly for Brubeck completists."
