Proggy jackpots are paid from a separate pot, right?

[FictionNet]

My understanding of progressive jackpots is that the prize is paid from a separate pot, held with the operator. As a result, jackpots are paid in one installment, with the exception of IGT's ten years arrangement.

If the above is correct, how/why do casinos such as Mr Green and Winner Casino restrict progressive jackpot wins to their standard 'max monthly payout' installments? How do these casinos get involved with the payment of a progressive jackpot?

TIA!

Not sure how other software works, but Microgaming is paid from a pot and paid all in one. No option to delay.

Thanks Renee,

One of these days I am gonna put a list together of the top 10 qestions we cover every year......I think this one would make the list....lol

It's a nice discussion though and almost always very informative for the newbies....since both the payouts as well as how the contributions to the pot are handled differently among the providers.....
