If both jackpots are high, the indication is that these machines have had a lot of play without hitting either jackpot and therefore the chances of that jackpot hitting soon are greater. Before playing any single group of progressives, check out the primary and secondary jackpots, then compare other surrounding progressives on the casino floor to see how high those jackpots are relative to their starting amounts. After a progressive jackpot is hit, the meter automatically resets to the base jackpot amount. If you see a Megabucks close to these two numbers, you know they have been hit recently. Save your money and dont play them until the jackpot grows.
Same principle applies to other progressives and their base jackpots.
