Jackpots

It’s true that slot machines are extremely fun and entertaining, but the fact remains that slots are a game associated with high payouts. That means certain players are concerned with how much they can win on a machine, rather than the theme or the features available. If a player is lucky enough, a single spin of the reels can result in enormous prizes, large enough to make headlines around the world. The jackpots in gambling games are many but slot machines remain supreme to this day.

PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT:
A jackpot is basically a pool of money. If it is a progressive jackpot, it is one which rises with the number of people playing the slot. Anywhere in the world, if a player plays that slot, then its progressive jackpot will rise - and as thousands of people can play an online slot at the same time, the jackpot can rise rapidly. Occasionally, you’ll find that several slots from the same provider are linked, so no matter which game is being played the jackpot will keep rising.

Progressive jackpots steadily get bigger and bigger as each new game is played with the sum of money getting larger all the way, until one lucky winner gets the jackpot money. After the winning jackpot is claimed, the money is taken to a minimum level that is still more than enough to entice players to try to win it. Progressive jackpots also have fun to play bonus games associated with them, which are worth a try even if they don’t result in any winnings.

NON-PROGRESSIVE JACKPOTS:
There are non-progressive jackpots linked to slot machines that may not give as healthy a pay-out as those given by progressive jackpots, but they are easier to win. The appearance of wild symbols across the reels in forms of piles or scatter symbols can be the trigger for non-progressive jackpots, so they are event-based, and they are not linked between players or slot games - they are simply a big prize for spinning something on the slot.

NOT PLAYING WITH JACKPOTS
It’s not always the winning that matters. Some slot players only play the game for the fun of it, others prefer to chase a jackpot - either is a valid form of playing! However, if you’re a fun player and you’ve never tried chasing a progressive jackpot, then you might want to give it a go sometime - it’s a real thrill and you shouldn’t miss out on it. You never know, you might end up taking home the big prize!
