Whatever the players are claiming about their desire to spend a good deal of time at the casino and about reasoning conflicts in the name of the game, the absolute majority are still attracted by the opportunity to earn a lot of money by investing a little. It is unlikely that a player who does not dream of winning thousands or even millions by betting a few coins. Progressive jackpots are created only for that category of players.

Initially, the term “jackpot” referred to poker, according to one of its rules – the parlays on the pot would increase if none of the players collected at least a pair of jacks (the word originated from the English words jack and pot) . Now, the word “jackpot” is often accompanied by the word “progressive”, which means accumulating a prize in the game until certain terms of that jackpot are met. A certain part of all bets form the jackpot, as a rule, the share is not so great – but the probability of winning the jackpot is very small, approximately 1 to 10,000 and perhaps even 1 to several million, and as a result a considerable sum of money is accumulated.

Generally, the sum of the jackpot is a thousand times greater than the bet. If we are dealing with online jackpots, we should note that jackpots are accumulated not in one casino, but in all casinos of a common software provider. It contributes to the ten-fold increase in jackpots.

What are the best games to win so much money? – a lot of games. Jackpots are mainly used football prediction, of course, in slot machines. It is a classic version – the jackpot is used instead of high fixed winnings for the rarest combination. If we talk about classic slots, the jackpot is paid for the win on the bottom line.

The jackpot sum usually starts with thousands of bets, but in some slots it starts with hundreds of thousands. There are no very large jackpots ($ 10 to $ 30,000) that are broken almost every week. But there are also monsters that accumulate for months and offer jackpots of millions.

The slots with these jackpots have relevant names:

“Golden Rally” (the maximum play space at Casino Playtech is about $ 2 million).

“Rags to Riches” (the maximum winnings for the Cryptologic casino is around $ 0.5 million).
