What is a Progressive Jackpot?
A progressive jackpot is a prize that grows every time someone plays the game (or network of games), because a small slice of each bet is added to the pot. It keeps climbing until one player triggers it — then it resets and starts building again.
The trade-off
Games that feed a progressive jackpot usually have a slightly lower base RTP, because part of every bet goes to the pot instead of back to players. You are trading a bit of everyday return for a tiny chance at a life-changing win. That is fine if you know it going in.
Before you chase one
Check whether the jackpot needs a max bet to qualify — many do. If you are not betting the qualifying amount, you cannot win the top prize no matter what lands.
