WHAT IS A PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT AND WHAT IT GIVES

Most games’ winnings are determined by odds and multipliers, but some slots don’t have these restrictions. These are called progressive jackpot machines. They accumulate a prize pool by taking a small percentage from each bet. Every spin contributes 1-5% of the bet to the jackpot.

To increase the chances of winning a large sum in progressive jackpots, some game developers use a tiered system. NetEnt, a well-known Swedish developer, implements this by offering multiple jackpot options in their games. Players have a higher probability of winning a smaller jackpot, while the odds of winning a larger one are lower.

In the popular slot game “Mega Fortune“, players can win one of three jackpots: Mega (5.39% of all bets), Major (1.1%), or Rapid (1%). The potential winnings are displayed at the top of the slot. The quest for the jackpot commences during the bonus game, where players must collect a specific combination that leads to the center of the reel.

Cosmic Fortune” slot offers five progressive jackpots: Mega, Major, Midi, Mini, and Rapid, with deductions ranging from 1% to 3.8%. The bonus game is pinball-based. In contrast, the jackpots in “Caribbean Stud Poker” are cumulative, but grow slower as it is formed from a side bet of one euro.
