Progressive Slots

A progressive slot machine is so called because its jackpot pays out in a different way to straight slot machines. As its name implies, the jackpot will progress upwards each time the game is played.

Progressive slot machines are usually linked to a larger network of other slot games and each time a slot machine is played in that network, funds are added to the progressive jackpot prize pool.

Once the jackpot is hit, one lucky player takes home the prize and the amount is reset to start growing once more. Progressive jackpot sums have been known to reach millions of dollars, and the more popular a specific game on a specific network, the more the game will be played and the more money will be contributed into the jackpot fund.

Due to their huge popularity, it should be noted that the chances of actually hitting the mega jackpot are narrowed down, but this does not stop millions of players trying their luck in the hope of winning life-changing sums of cash.

Progressive slots can refer to single line or multi line slot games, with or without bonuses and special features.

Some progressive slot games require that players wager the maximum number of coins in order to qualify for the jackpot, while other games carry random progressive jackpots that can be hit no matter how much the player wagers. It is thus essentially to read the betting terms of the game beforehand.
