Jackpotting a ball driven dog

Grim is my first dog whose ball drive greatly exceeds his food drive.

With a food dog it is very easy to jackpot a given behavior without losing focus during a training session.

How does one "jackpot" a ball driven dog - or do you just have to break and play?

I am talking about introduction of variable reinforement schedules and the dog never knowing whether he is going to get nothing, something, or a lot of something.....
