A progressive jackpot is a type of prize pool in casino games that increases with every bet placed by players. Unlike fixed jackpots, which remain constant, progressive jackpots grow dynamically as they are funded by a percentage of each wager. This unique feature creates the potential for staggering prize payouts.
Casino Game | Progressive Jackpot |
---|---|
Slots | Mega Moolah (Microgaming) - €18.9 million |
Poker | Bad Beat Jackpot (various casinos) - $1.3 million |
Video Poker | Jackpot Poker (various casinos) - $250,000 |
Blackjack | Super 21 (various casinos) - $100,000 |
The allure of progressive jackpots lies in their potential for massive payouts. According to a study by the American Gaming Association, progressive jackpots account for over 50% of all casino revenue. This popularity stems from the fact that they offer players the chance to win life-changing sums of money, even with small stakes.
