Progressive slots a popular draw for casinos

By John Wilson

Lots of online casinos offer 'Progressive Jackpots' amongst their selections of online Slots games, and these are a popular draw for many players because of the substantial cash prizes they can offer.

The games are played no differently to other Slots, however they don't have a fixed payout for the top payout. The progressive jackpot is started from a specified level by the casino (somewhere between £1000 and £50,000 is usual, depending on the minimum cost bet on the machine) and grows with every spin of the machine that fails to win it. This accumulation at the most popular online casinos can be very rapid indeed and lead to some serious seven-figure jackpots. You'll often see 'taxi-meter' style displays on the home pages of online casinos that make a feature of their progressive jackpot games, which constantly update to show the current jackpot headlines. If you find the current potential prize on a 'meter' is irresistibly huge, you should also find a link near it to get you straight to the Slot in question and make your play for that tasty jackpot!

Once a Slot's progressive jackpot has been successfully claimed, that machine reverts to its original starting prize and the jackpot begins to build again.
