Progressive jackpots – what are they?

Today, many casinos, both online and offline, offer their customers progressive jackpot games, a gradually increasing prize pool, although until recently there was no such option. The increasing popularity of progressive jackpots is due to the increasing number of people playing a particular game. Therefore it can be said that the greater the dynamic popularity of a game and the more players join the game the bigger the jackpot, and increasing the jackpot during a game is a progressive jackpot.

Most casinos now offer the progressive jackpot, but there are also blackjack, card games and video poker games which also offer the progressive jackpot. Apart from their undeniable appeal in the form of ever-increasing winnings, there are also their own special features in playing on such terms.

It may be noted that progressive jackpots in online games rarely reach amounts greater than one million, and the largest online casino jackpot has ever been matched, at $3.5 million. Typically, games with this type of jackpot are more expensive than regular jackpots, as a certain portion of the fee is deposited into the prize pool budget, which increases, and they are much more difficult to win than a similar game but with a regular fixed prize pool.

A feature of some casinos that provide the opportunity to play with the progressive jackpot is also a mandatory condition of making only the maximum bets, which allows you to collect the winning pot, and if this point is not met by the player, he does not get the progressive jackpot. So it’s worth remembering that no matter how much interest or desire there is to play games under these conditions, the chances of winning are not high.

Finally, in order to avoid losing money, you should familiarise yourself thoroughly with the rules of the progressive jackpot, especially the part about winning conditions and payouts to winners.
