Vacant menu adjustment 51 is now “Lit inlane”. Options: “Stay” (default) and “Once”.
Stay: Inlane awards stay lit when collected.
Once: Inlane awards unlight when collected.
Vacant menu adjustment 52 is now “Jackpot”. Options: “Progressive” (default), “500K”, “750K”, “1M” and “1.5M”.
Progressive: Jackpot increment rule as standard. But it is player individual and resets at start-of-game.
Points: Fixed jackpot at designated value.
Some refinements to sound bites on inlanes, orbits, fun-with-bonus and match.
Inlanes give an audio cue when the kickback is lit.
Why it rocks
Progressive jackpot as designed by Demar/Richie. But refined for competition play.
Optionally fixed jackpot.
New inlane option is effectively a harder kickback rule.
Progressive jackpot, that also carries to next multiball on failed collect, offers more strategies to the game.
Note
The jackpot resets to 250K at start-of-game and on collect. Increment with scoring during multiball play. Tops at 2 million.
Lit orbit shot lights the inlanes. Lit inlane awards 20K and lights the kickback.

8 Ball / 9 Ball game mode selection at start-of-game is fixed at the 9 Ball choice.
The jackpot is reset to 1M at start-of-ball (each ball, each player).
A bug where the slingshots would reduce the jackpot by 995K, fixed.
Why it rocks
A game mode choice is problematic in competition play. In line with flipper codes that are generally prohibited to use.
The 9 Ball mode is fewer shots to make. But to be taken in order.
A cross-games/cross-players increment till collect jackpot is uneven battleground and skewed luck/skill balance.
Bug fix.
