Progressive Jackpots Online at Vegas Palms Casino

Progressive Jackpots are a very popular casino game choice that offer massive jackpots. Often the prize pools can exceed 1.000.000. Progressive games weren’t introduced until the late 1980s with the introduction of multiple paylines on 3 and 5 reel machines. This development allowed International Gaming Technology to develop the first progressive slot game. First introduced in Las Vegas, a bank of 60 machines were networked and 10% of the cash each machine received was added to a central jackpot. The format almost immediately gained massive popularity and was soon available at every reputable online casino worldwide.

What are progressive jackpots?

The first digital version of progressive jackpots came with the launch of the very first online casino during the digital boom in the late 1990s.

The most popular format of jackpot games are progressive slots. These games offer the same winning opportunities as a standard online slots. However, unlike traditional machines, they feature the addition of an opportunity to hit a massive jackpot.

To compete for a progressive jackpot, it usually requires a player to unlock a second-screen bonus game without the slot. This game is often represented as a jackpot wheel (as in Mega Moolah) with one of the wheel’s section offering the progressive jackpot amount. Players then spin the wheel hoping to land on that illusive jackpot amount.

How progressive jackpots work

With each loosing bet placed on a specific progressive slot, a portion is diverted into a jackpot pool. This pool usually carries a casino defined guaranteed minimum amount that is then compounded with the additional funds. The progressive jackpot then continues to grow endless until a player wins it.
