Progressive Jackpots: Everything You Need to Know
(and How to Win!)

It depends on the game, but the smaller pools can go every few days, to the bigger ones falling every few months!

They’re paid out either in cash or check, probably over lump sums (depending on the casino). We really hope this kind of information will become something you actually have to deal with soon!

We think so! The thrill of possibly being that lucky player to win a life-changing amount of cash definitely keeps us motivated, but other players might like their wins more expected (like you get with video slots and non-progressives).

You should. It gives you a higher chance of winning the jackpot. Most progressive slots don’t give you a chance of winning unless you’re playing the max bet, so keep an eye on your bankroll.

That massively depends on the specific game you’re playing. The odds could be anywhere from 20:1 to 40,000,000:1! Generally, the higher the pool, the less likely it is you’ll win (which is why it’s so high in the first place).

A portion of every bet you (and other players) make goes towards the pool. The more people that are playing, and the more people betting per play, means a higher jackpot pool that grows very quickly! 

The truth is, in theory, it’s possible. It’s the principle of higher risk, higher reward, but that still doesn’t mean they pay out all the time.

You need to make sure you’re meeting the game’s requirements to be eligible to play; that usually means making the max bet, and playing them regularly! Remember, the jackpot is awarded on any random but eligible spin!

That’s really up to you, and we love all kinds of different progressives for different reasons! Check out our range of progressive slots at our recommended online casinos and find your favorite to play! 

You can indeed! As long as the casino you’re playing at offers a mobile site, you should be more than able to play progressive slots on the go!
