The Thrill of Progressive Jackpots
What Is a Progressive Jackpot?
A progressive jackpot is a type of prize that increases each time a player places a bet on a qualifying pokies game. That is, until one lucky winner hits the jackpot and it resets. This is very different from fixed jackpots, which offer a set prize amount that stays the same regardless of how many players are betting.
In progressive pokie jackpots, the prize pool is linked across machines or games and grows continuously. This means the jackpot can reach staggering sums, often into the millions, making our casino’s progressive jackpots some of the most sought-after prizes in online gambling. Whether you’re playing locally or across multiple casinos, your bet helps contribute to this growing pot.
How Do Progressive Jackpots Work
Playing online casino progressive jackpots is straightforward but understanding how they work can improve your chances. A small portion of every wager you place on a progressive pokie contributes to the jackpot pool, which grows steadily until it is won. Jackpots can be triggered in different ways:
- Random triggers: Some jackpots can hit at any time, no matter the spin outcome.
- Specific combinations: Others require landing rare symbols or bonus rounds.
- Max bet requirements: Many pokies require players to bet the maximum to qualify for the jackpot. Always check the rules before playing.
This mix of growing prize pools and diverse jackpot triggers keeps gameplay exciting and full of anticipation.
