Progressive jackpot in casinos: types and conditions of winning

There are two main reasons for the presence of bettors in the online casino : passion and the hope of big gain. A hope well maintained by an awesome system, called progressive jackpot, enough to make you a millionaire. It is very different from the classic jackpot and can be found in all casinos. Which justifies its popularity. What is it? How do I pick it up? We explain to you.

What is a progressive jackpot?

Regardless of the different bets committed in the best online casinos, the amount to be won remains fixed in the classic jackpots. That's what differs from the progressive jackpot. For the latter, the principle changes. The more bets bettors make, the more the jackpot evolves and can reach thousands or even millions of francs. This system works according to a division of bets. The basic bet goes to the casino and the other part of the deposited amount will increase the jackpot prize pool. The larger the jackpot, the more it attracts bettors.

Important: It is easier to win on a classic jackpot than on a progressive jackpot. Because, the larger the jackpot amount, the more difficult it becomes to win it.

The types of progressive jackpot

In casinos generally, 3 types of progressive jackpots are definable :

1. Local progressive jackpots or linked progressive jackpots

They are the prerogative of land-based casinos. Here, the machines are all connected to a single bank or are distributed on the same place. In an online casino, this jackpot can connect from 5 different games.

2. Network jackpot or large-scale progressive jackpot

This jackpot requires the connection of all the machines in the casino, regardless of the brand. It leads to very big winnings hence a very big jackpot. Winning this type of progressive jackpot is proving difficult, but not impossible, rest assured.

3. The autonomous progressive Jackpots

It is a jackpot awarded to a unique and independent slot machine. The bets collected on this machine constitute the total amount of the jackpot. So it is smaller.

The conditions for winning Progressive Jackpots

The eligibility conditions for the progressive jackpot differ most often from one game to another, and even from one casino to another, each game and each casino having its own rules. To be eligible, for example, certain conditions must be met, in particular :

• When a player at the slot machines, lands the winning combination at the same group of machines on a winning line.
• Or, in blackjack, the bettor must put a secondary bet into play from which a percentage will be deducted which will be used to fund the jackpot prize pool. So if he has an Ace, he receives the secondary bet of the jackpot. If he has 3 of the same color, he is paid according to the coast of 250/1. If he has 4 Aces of the same suit, he wins the progressive jackpot.

How to win a progressive jackpot

To win a progressive jackpot, 2 main techniques regularly return to the level of bettors :

• Some bettors deposit small amounts at very high frequencies in order to maximize their chances of winning
• Others, on the other hand, opt for high bets, most of the time the maximum amount allowed, at regular intervals to hope to hit the jackpot.

There is a 3rd method, perhaps less used, but which has the merit of being easier to verify. It is to control the redistribution rate of the machines in order to place its bet on the one with the highest rate.
