Progressive slots

Progressive slots are relatively new additions to the online casino games. Their main feature is that the winnable jackpot goes up a little with every single pull. Thanks to technology, the jackpot is being built up by a cluster of machines wired together. So bets by all players from all the linked machines are basically “crowdfunding” the jackpot. The exact amount on which the jackpot increases is always different and fixed by each casino individually. For example, on a machine with a house edge of 5%, the jackpot contribution can be 1%. Usually, only maximum wager bets are qualified for winning the ultimate prize, but all of the bets contribute to it!

Despite the fact that all progressive slots allow you to win jackpots, there are some special features that distinguish progressive slot machines, whether they are 3-reel or 5-reel or even appear as a wheel of fortune. There are three different types of them.

Try our Progressive Slots listed below:

In-House Progressive Slots

In-House Progressive Slots (or Proprietary Progressives) are built with the clusters of slot machines linked and operated by the same casino or several casinos that are owned by one gaming company. Although jackpots in proprietary progressives are not multi-million, they hit more often in comparison with other types of progressive slot machines.

Stand Alone Progressive Slots

A Stand Alone Progressive Slot machine is not connected to other slot machines as In-House Progressive Slots. Only bets placed on that specific machine feed the fixed jackpot. A certain percentage of coins played is taken out and sums up the award for the best winning combination. Stand Alone Progressive Slot machine has a meter on the front where you can have a total control over the jackpot. A jackpot prize here is considerably lower compared to wide area progressive jackpots.

Wide Area Progressive Slots

These are a group of slot machines linked together and operated by different unrelated casinos or gaming companies. An independent gaming operator takes responsibility for operating Wide Area Progressives; the casino only gets a share from a percentage of the winnings. Wide Area Progressive machines offer really big jackpots. Though the awards on this type of progressive slots can be high, the odds of hitting the jackpot prizes are rather low.
