I understand why slot companies do it --- by giving out "nil" in the bonus round, it allows them to pay out higher jackpots to other users. If you think about it --- if everyone got a medium credit win (200 to 600 coins), the average play duration would be longer (assuming most people who do not win a significant jackpot will continue to play until they hit something good, or run the machine down to nil. Although this sounds like a positive thing to the players, the casino and the slot manufactures are working to turn the machines over as much as possible to make more money ... but still have you walk away satisfied (or wanting to play again). So, instead of the frequent medium wins, you get lots of lows, some mediums, and the occasional big bonus round win.

One of the reasons for the popularity of "Jackpot Party" -- is that it has lots of medium wins ... however, there are also a lot of very small disappointing wins. Eventually, it is the "pooper" on the first pick which turns people off.
