Online Jackpots
Online Jackpots in Ireland
Progressive slot games and slot machines have a jackpot that increases incrementally during gameplay. Progressive slots are either standalone machines where it increases in a single machine or a network of slot machines where the grand prize increases across the entire network.
How Online Jackpots Work
- Progressive slots: The majority of these jackpots come from progressive slots. Every time you or someone else plays a progressive slot, a small portion of the wager goes towards the jackpot, causing it to grow larger and larger until someone finally wins.
Jackpot Meters in Progressive Slots
In the world of progressive slots, there’s a nifty feature known as the jackpot meter. This yoke displays the current value of the grand prize, so ye can keep an eye on the pot as it grows. The meter is typically large and brightly coloured, sitting right above the slot machines in physical casinos.
As for online slot games, these meters can be found within the casino software itself. Ye might also come across them on various websites promoting these games and the online casinos where they’re available. Just remember, if ye want a shot at winnin’ the big one, make sure to place the max bet, as that’s the only way to be eligible for the grand prize.
