41 Sharing jackpots
This section applies to players of gaming machines linked in a progressive jackpot link arrangement.
If 2 or more players are eligible for payment of the amount displayed on the progressive jackpot meter for the arrangement, the amount of the progressive jackpot is to be shared equally among the winning players.
Two or more players are eligible for the amount of the progressive jackpot if—
the players obtain the winning combination at the same time; or
a player obtained the winning combination but—
the progressive jackpot link arrangement allows other players playing gaming machines in the arrangement to complete a wager made before, or at the same time as, the winning combination was or is obtained; and
in completing the wager before further play is prevented, another player obtains, or other players obtain, the winning combination as a result of the wager.
Subject to subsection (2), a player of a gaming machine may not claim payment of an amount, or a share of an amount, that was displayed on the progressive jackpot meter if the amount of the progressive jackpot has transferred from the progressive jackpot meter to a gaming machine played by another player.
