What are progressive jackpot slots?
As I anticipated, progressive jackpot slots are slot machines identical in every way to classic slots, but with a progressive jackpot up for grabs, obtainable through a combination or mini-game.
In most cases, the jackpot offered is multi-tiered to offer more opportunities to win and not just the main jackpot to a single lucky person. Some popular jackpot slot machines are Mega Moolah, Mega Dreams and 88 Fortunes.
Let us analyse the features of these slot machines
These games have no real features, being, to all intents and purposes, classic slot machines, the only difference being that they have a jackpot up for grabs. Some “classic” games, such as Book of Ra, have also released their jackpot version.
The only thing that should be highlighted is the presence of a mini-game or combination in each case that will lead the player to win this prize. For example, we have “a wheel of fortune” on Mega Moolah and Mega Dreams.
This wheel will allow you to win the first prize when the wheel stops on the lucky box. However, it is not easy to access these mini-games and even less easy to win a prize.
How is the jackpot of an online slot game composed?
This page is about slot machines with progressive jackpots, but it should be noted that there are two types of jackpots. We have the fixed jackpot and the progressive jackpot.
The fixed jackpot does not change over time and, even after a win, will retain its “fixed” value. On the other hand, the progressive one will continue to rise, retaining a small part of each player’s bet.
Once won, this progressive jackpot will start from zero and begin to climb again. Therefore, a progressive jackpot comprises a small part of the stake of all players who have played it.
Are there any tricks for winning the slot jackpot?
Let’s start by saying that I probably wouldn’t be writing this now if there were tricks to win the slot jackpot. There are no tricks, and there never will be. However, there are some tricks you can take.
You should know that the mini-game or wheel of fortune with which to win the jackpot is accessible in a completely random manner. However, the higher the bet, the greater the chances of winning this mode.
This does not mean, however, that by betting EUR 50 per shot, you will get the bonus mini-game dozens of times.
Statistically, it has been shown that the best balance between bet and chance is 3.50 euros per shot. A figure too high for my taste, but we are still talking about statistics.
Here’s what I think about jackpot slot machines
I like slot machines with jackpots. There is often real hype around a game, especially when its jackpot exceeds 7 million euros. The feeling of being able to win this sum with every spin is unique.
If I had to choose between a regular slot machine and a jackpot, I would always choose the one with the jackpot. After all, why give up a dream? We are still talking about sums that can change your life.
