What is a progressive jackpot?

A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that starts at a set amount and continues to increase and grow.
The progressive jackpot pool is started by the casino and increases in value with every real money dollar that is bet. A portion of each bet is taken towards the real money jackpot and this helps the jackpot grow. The casino game is played like any other with the ultimate goal of winning the jackpot. Players can win with a certain configuration of symbols or by chance if playing a random progressive jackpot game.

Important factors when playing a progressive jackpot game

There is no cut and dry way to win a progressive jackpot but there are a number of methods that a player can employ to help them get close to the winning jackpot. Placing maximum coin bets is nearly always one of the conditions for winning a progressive jackpot but not necessarily for a random progressive jackpot. A random progressive jackpot can be won at any time during the standard game. The player does not have to place the maximum bet in order to have a chance at winning the progressive jackpot but rather the maximum number of coins that the game allows. When the jackpot is won the casino resets the jackpot and the excitement starts again.
