Progressive Jackpot Games
Wheel of Fortune, Megabucks, and Quarter Mania are some of the most popular casino games comprising the earliest waves of progressive jackpots. The amount of jackpots that have been won in these games are legendary, and today they remain as sought after as ever.
By far the most popular progressive jackpot slots game is Wheel of Fortune, which is available in four denominations: quarters, 1/2 dollar, dollars, and five dollars. The dollar machine resets to a base value of $1million, and quarters to $200,000, after every win. Megabucks resets to a base value of a whopping $7,000,000. Other progressive jackpot games are Nickel Deluxe, Quarter Deluxe, Progressive Jeopardy, Addams Family MegaJackpot, Party-Time, Betty Boop, I Dream of Jeannie, and Elvis. Bally's Thrillion Series is also popular and includes three Blondie versions, 777 Millionaire, and Popeye.
Progressive Jackpot Game Rules
It would be hard to resist playing a progressive jackpot casino game, and with good reason. Simply put, the more times a game is played, the more money goes to the machine, the higher a progressive jackpot grows. Think: millions of dollars. Jackpot Madness, the world’s largest online progressive jackpot casino network, pay out about $3 million a month on progressive jackpot games.
The Object of the Game
The most popular progressive jackpot games are slot machine games, but other casino games, like video poker, stud poker, and blackjack, also offer progressive jackpots. The whole idea is tied to money being added increasingly to a machine, so progressive jackpot games are all machine games. Each game follows its own rules but the common thread connecting all these games is how you win the progressive jackpot.
The object is to make the maximum bet in order to qualify to win the progressive jackpot, and then hit the highest win in a game in order to win. A game's highest win has fixed variables: a specific combination of picture symbols for slots, a specific five-card poker hand for video poker and stud poker, a specific two-card hand for blackjack. Winning or losing may be based on chance, as in slots, skill, as in blackjack and stud poker, or a combination of the two, as in video poker.
