Flat Top
Slot machine with a fixed jackpot amount.
In the context of casino gambling, the term "Flat Top" typically refers to a type of progressive jackpot or a specific structure of a slot machine or gaming table.
Flat Top Jackpot: This is a jackpot that has a maximum payout limit that does not increase indefinitely. Unlike traditional progressive jackpots, which can grow larger as more players contribute to the pot, a flat top jackpot will cap at a certain amount. Once the jackpot reaches this limit, it remains there until it is won again, at which point it resets to a predetermined value.
Flat Top Slot Machines: In some cases, flat top can also refer to slot machines that have a fixed payout structure rather than a progressive one. These machines offer a maximum payout that is not linked to other machines, making them more predictable in terms of potential winnings.
In both cases, the term emphasizes the concept of a limit or cap on payouts, distinguishing it from more dynamic, escalating jackpot systems.
