Zusammenfassung:	Jackpot interface (10) connects to electronic gaming machines (12) (i.e. poker, slot, video machines) which include hard meters (6) and video displays (23, 27). The gaming machines (12) are capable of playing independent games and participating in a multiple gaming machine jackpot game. The gaming machines (12) are connected to a LAN (14). Included is a video display generator which on a jackpot award replaces or superimposes on a first video signal a second video signal that it generates. A jackpot controller (15) increments on the basis of the hard meter (6) signals and/or awards a jackpot sum from a jackpot pool to a selected gaming machine (12). The interface (10) stops independent play of the gaming machine (12) upon a jackpot award. The jackpot interface (10) is a separate circuit board capable of being fined to a standard gaming machine (12).
