Shuffle Master established the first inter-property linked table game progressive jackpot

Shuffle Master created the link using Nexus Command, an innovative system that enables multiple progressive table games of the same title to be linked across statewide properties. Nevada Gaming Control Board is currently field-testing Nexus Command, which is the latest evolution in Shuffle Master's Nexus product line.

To win the Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot, a player must have a seven-card straight flush, which can include a joker. When the top prize hits, an Envy Bonus is also paid to all players who made the progressive wager at the winning table during that round.

"We are excited to bring the first inter-property linked table game progressive jackpot to the State, and honoured that Station Casinos has partnered with us to make this a reality," said Gavin Isaacs, CEO of Shuffle Master. "We believe players will enjoy a more exciting and compelling gaming experience as the Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot rapidly increases."

"We are confident that the appeal of the cross-property progressive jackpot is that players witness the meters incrementing in real-time at a faster clip to drive bigger progressive jackpots than a standalone or intra-property progressive," said John Hemberger, General Manager of Shuffle Master's Table Games division. "Cross-property connectivity was the next logical step for Shuffle Master in enhancing and broadening our progressive product offerings."
"We are very pleased and excited to partner with Shuffle Master on the introduction of this revolutionary inter-property table games progressive jackpot program," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Station Casinos Table Game Operations. "At Station Casinos, we pride ourselves in leading the market in new and innovative technology to enhance our guests' experiences."
