It looks like our Slot Machine nomenclature doesn't quite match the official Bungie line. It turns out any number given by the Slot Machine is called a Jackpot, according to Jeremiah.

You win a jackpot from almost every matchmaking game you play, it appears as the Slot Machine bonus at the end of the game. There are regular jackpots which range from 150 to 3000 credits (6000 in Double Jackpot playlists) and then there are Super Jackpots which you can hit that award an additional amount, but can only be won once per day.
Super Jackpots can be global or specific to a playlist.
According to the Bungie Weekly Update (and in-game announcement), we currently have a Super Jackpot Weekend of 9000 cR in BTB. SUPER JACKPOT WEEKEND #2 - BIG TEAM BATTLE
This weekend we're upping the payout! From noon on Friday until midnight on Sunday when you complete a game in BIG TEAM BATTLE you'll have a chance to win an extra 9,000 credit Super Jackpot. The same rules apply, you can win once per day and it does not count towards your regular daily credit limit. Not only have we upped the payout, but we've doubled your chance to win as well.
In addition, Bungie has also implemented Double Jackpots in Arena, Squad Slayer, and Defiant Map Pack. I'm not sure if that means every Jackpot is doubled or you just have a chance of it doubling. Given the wording, I think every Jackpot is doubled. The range in those playlists for a normal Jackpot should be 300-6000 cR. Posted by: Jeremiah
Doubled Jackpots for The Arena, Squad Slayer and Defiant Map Pack
To sum up, this is how I think it works, using Bungie's wording.
Normal Jackpot: 150-3000 cR (everyone finishing a MM game gets this amount)
Double Jackpot: 300-6000 cR (Arena, Squad Slayer, DMP, everyone finishing gets this amount)
Global Super Jackpot: 7777 cR (added to the normal Jackpot, only received by some individuals, rare, chances increase by not quitting games)
Super Weekend Jackpot #1: 7000 cR (Apr 29-May 1, Defiant Map Pack, added to the normal Jackpot, only received by some individuals, 50 times greater chance than Global Super Jackpot)
Super Weekend Jackpot #2: 9000 cR (May 6-8, BTB, added to the normal Jackpot, only received by some individuals, 100 times greater chance than Global Super Jackpot)
I got the 7777 cR for the Global Super Jackpot from this Jackpot FAQ thread.
