What are progressive slot machines?

Tanya Munshi - 23 May 2008

Every online slots gamer hopes to win the top prize of a progressive slot game. Casinopassport slots experts recommend that having some background knowledge about progressive slots is absolutely necessary before setting off to play. 

A progressive slot game is a part of a group of several slot machines that are linked together by a network. The progressive jackpot is calculated by taking a percentage of all the money wagered into the slot machines.

This means that the progressive jackpot continues to grow as players continue playing at the slots until you hit the winning symbols for the top prize.

The total value of the progressive jackpot increases by a small amount with every coin wagered. If you bet on the maximum credits per spin, you become eligible to win the top prize; but all players irrespective of the number of credits they play contribute to the jackpot.

That’s why if you bet less than the maximum coins that are required, even though you contribute to the progressive jackpot, you may not win the top prize. So, while playing progressives, never wager less than the maximum credits that are needed to be eligible for the jackpot.

There are several places where you can play online progressive jackpot slots. 

Microgaming powered casinos such as Ladbrokes Casino, Stan James Casino, 32Red, Platinum Play and Grand Mondial have progressive slots games like Mega Moolah Slots which pay out over a Million pounds.  

Playtech casinos such as Casino Tropez, Casino Bellini, Casino Del Rio and Totesport Casino also have very high progressive jackpot slots.
