There’s nothing quite like the sound of a progressive jackpot ringing when playing online pokies. These incredible features guarantee that a significant payout is coming your way. When your account balance jumps with the newfound wealth, the excitement sets in. What new possibilities will it bring?
The most sought-out of all pokie features, progressive jackpots are different from standard jackpots in that they can reach epic proportions. When you read about a mega win at a casino, it’s typically from a pokie with a progressive jackpot. As the name suggests, progressives build over time. They start with a small amount, which is funded by the host casino, and build with every bet placed on the game. A percentage of every wager is added to the pot, which is displayed on the game screen. The more popular the game, the faster the pot builds.
Progressive jackpots continue to build until someone claims them; the way this happens depends on the game. In the case of random progressive jackpots, they’re triggered randomly at the end of any given spin. These typically don’t have any betting minimums attached to the jackpot eligibility. Just spin the reels and cross your fingers.
In other games, progressive jackpots are offered as a prize for landing the top line. These versions typically have a minimum bet requirement to be eligible for the jackpot.
A third type of pokies jackpots come from bonus rounds. In these games, the jackpots are integrated within the bonus round. To access them, you must trigger the bonus round.
Knowing the type of progressive jackpot you’re dealing with will help boost your odds of triggering it. Always be sure to check the game rules before playing to see if there are any eligibility details. For example, the progressive in Caesar’s Victory is a random progressive jackpot, with no eligibility requirement, while the progressive in Shopping Spree is awarded for landing five Diamond icons and requires a max bet.
All of the progressive jackpot pokies in our casino are Australia-based. Balances are displayed in the Australian dollar, and deposits and withdrawals are all processed with Australian currency, with the exception of cryptocurrencies. But, even with crypto, you still play with the Australian dollar because crypto casino deposits are converted automatically to the Australian dollar for ease of play.
