I have always very much enjoyed playing Jackpot Party and Super Jackpot Party and I do think of them as very specific branded games by WMS.
In fact, on my last trip to Vegas, I searched out this specific machine in a number of casinos and was surprised and disappointed a number of times because it would often be difficult to find one availailable that was not occupied.
IMO I think the suit had merit based upon the actual names of those two games and that the word "jackpot" was not being used in the generic sense.
Party Gaming could have named the game similar to that and not the exact name and would not have been infringing....I think they knew that and named it specifically in order to capitalize on a specific brand.
