Progressive Slots – A Guide

December 14, 2023

Anyone who has played slots at an online casino will have noticed that not all titles are built the same.

So, what is the main difference between classic slot games and those called progressive slots?

Well, as their name suggests, progressive titles contain prizes that increase every time the game is played as a tiny portion of each wager will go towards the progressive jackpot, which will continue to build until the moment that someone strikes the jackpot.

This is why, in some games like Millionaires Island for example, a number highlighted in a red banner can be seen continuously rising in value beneath the game’s icon. This number represents the jackpot built across various qualifying progressive slot titles.

But just how high can progressive jackpots get? Well, because winners are selected completely at random by a set of algorithms, there is no fixed maximum limit and the jackpot just keeps growing until someone hits it.
