What is a Jackpot Slot?

A jackpot, simply put, is a monster-sized cash prize that features in many casino games.

You know that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? That’s a jackpot.

Whether you’re playing our regular jackpot slots or progressive ones, you can be in hot pursuit of massive cash prizes. These earth-shattering payouts are available on a wide selection of games, from traditional slots to scratch cards.

Types of jackpot we offer at 888casino include:

• Progressive Jackpots – players have the opportunity to win big payouts here, since a percentage of every real-money bet goes towards the total prize pot.
• Daily Jackpots – our daily prizes drop every day no later than the stroke of midnight. Prize pools rise throughout the day as each player places their bet, until someone lucky scores big.
• Pooled Jackpots – many of our jackpots are pooled by their vendors, giving players a chance to win big on a spin across multiple slots in the network.

Daily and Progressive Jackpots

Our daily jackpots give you not one, but two chances to win big, as both our 888 and Red Tiger Daily Jackpots drop every single day – before the clock strikes 12.

Meanwhile, our progressive prizes gradually grow over time and could drop at any moment. Players have a great variety of choice when it comes to winning small, medium, large and gigantic cash prizes.

Both kinds of jackpot take a percentage of each bet and add it to the prize pool; the only difference is that you know the daily jackpot has to drop before midnight.

Pooled jackpots

Pooled jackpots are the motherlode of all cash prizes. Why? Because they combine prize pools of multiple games to give players a chance to win millions in a single spin.

Not only that, but our pooled jackpots are also progressive, meaning they continue to grow with each real-money bet across the participating sites. Only when someone lands a winning spin and claims the prize pool will the jackpot be reset.

The History of Jackpots

Jackpots have been around since the 1870s, but they spread like wildfire following the arrival of the hit card game Jacks or Better, now one of the most popular types of video poker.

The premise of this jackpot was simple. Each poker player would place their bets in the pot until the winner was crowned, with at least a pair of jacks or better.

Over the years, many land-based casinos began to introduce enticing options of their own with mega-money prizes, often in the form of jackpot slot machines. More recently, the arrival of online play has accelerated the popularity of progressive jackpot slots – and now millions can be up for grabs.

How to Win Online Jackpot Slots

Strategies for these are wild. Winning at slots is part good fortune, part common sense, and part mathematics – but of course, there are no guarantees.

You can calculate your rough odds of winning a jackpot based on the average return to player (RTP) and the game’s ‘volatility’ (i.e. how often it tends to pay out).

Next, it’s simply a case of picking a game with a huge jackpot and wishing upon a star, or a lucky leprechaun, as you spin those reels.

FAQs

How do progressive jackpot slots work?

Progressive jackpots work by placing a percentage of every bet into a prize pool.

You play your favourite slots as normal. Then, the moment you line up the right combinations (symbols or cards), you’re eligible for the jackpot. Once this has been claimed, it resets to a minimum amount and starts accumulating again – ready for the next lucky winner.

How are progressive jackpots paid?

How you receive your jackpot winnings depends on the size of the pool. If the jackpot is a couple of thousand pounds, you can usually choose your withdrawal method as normal.

For higher amounts, you may need to provide extra ID before the site can transfer your winnings.

Are progressive jackpots random?

Yes, just like other games and payouts, the chance of winning a progressive prize is completely random.

However, some slots may require a minimum bet to be placed in the jackpot draw. Be sure to read the full terms and conditions of your chosen jackpot before placing your wager.

How often do progressive jackpots hit?

The amount of time between payouts on progressive prizes can vary massively. They might land a week apart – or even a number of months. Not knowing when these huge cash sums will be awarded is all part of the excitement.

Are progressive slots worth it?

Though the chances of winning big may be relatively small, the payouts will usually be vast compared to what a player has wagered. For this reason, many people like to play games with progressive prizes for a shot at a life-changing sum.

What triggers a jackpot on slots?

If the game has no betting conditions, then the jackpot can be won simply by spinning the reels.

However, for those games that have minimum or side bets, the jackpot will only be up for grabs if you meet the betting requirements. Some jackpots can also only be won by triggering a bonus game within the slot.

What slot machines pay the best?

You can get an idea of average payouts by checking the RTP (return to player) percentage for the game in question.

When it comes to jackpots, you’ll also be able to see what kind of prizes are up for grabs. Popular games with large prize pools include Millionaire Genie, Gods of Gold, Rise of the Pharaohs and Irish Riches.

Is there a strategy to online slots?

There is no sure-fire way to win at slots, and that crucial element of luck is of course all part of the experience. However, if you want to learn some helpful tips and advice for getting the most out of your playing sessions, be sure to check out our Ultimate Slot Machine Guide.
