Progressive Jackpot Slots
Progressive slots are incredibly popular amongst online casino players, because they offer the possibility of massive jackpot that can change your entire life. There are online progressive slot jackpots currently in seven-figure territory, so we’re not talking about chump change at all.
Progressive slots are linked to a single main jackpot. Every time a slots player feeds one slot a percentage of that money goes towards the jackpot amount, which is why you can see the jackpot incrementally getting higher, constantly ticking upwards until someone hits it.
These progressive jackpots are often linked across an software platform, so that multiple online casinos pay into the progressive.
In the case of Microgaming-powered online casinos there is the Mega Moolah progressive slot game. Playtech-powered online casinos have Beach Life, their version of a progressive slot. In fact, all the major online casino software platforms will offer progressive slots, with differing jackpot totals. In the past the Mega Moolah has paid out over $7 million to a single progressive jackpot winner. Beach Life paid out close to $4.2 million to an online slots player from Canada.
Most progressive slots games cannot be sampled in the free play section of an online casino, they are reserved for real money players.
The Marvel slots, which are offered on Cryptologic casinos as well as Playtech casinos, are the exception that proves the rule as they can be played for free. Be warned that if you hit the progressive jackpot in the free play mode you will not only win no real money but you’ll probably be kicking yourself for days! So perhaps it is for the best that progressive slots require real money play, because after all who wants to win a massive jackpot in free play mode?
