A progressive jackpot is an extra feature that appears on select online casino games. While they are usually associated with online slot games, you can find these jackpots in online roulette, blackjack, and baccarat as well.
Instead of a traditional casino win, which is based on the odds of winning, or a predetermined paytable, the progressive jackpot is always getting progressively bigger. This happens because the game takes a small percentage of all bets made on those games, from all the different online casinos around the world, and adds it to this special jackpot.
There are different kinds of progressive jackpots. Some games have multiple jackpots, one that can pay out daily, has a limit on the maximum amount of money in the jackpot before it must select a winner, and the unlimited jackpot that continually grows until some lucky player wins it.
Progressive jackpots can be limited to a certain game, as is the case in Mega Moolah and Great Blue Jackpot, or it can combine bets from game franchises, such as the Age of the Gods and Kingdoms Rise.
While there is no single way to win a progressive jackpot, some games payout to random winners while others are dependent on the symbols in the game, you can increase your odds of winning by making bigger wagers.
Progressive jackpots can be found in all types of online slot games, from movie-themed games like Gladiator Jackpot, to animal themes like Mega Moolah, to a fantasy world as is the case with Kingdoms Rise.
