Progressive jackpots explained

Find the jackpot type

A prize can be local to one game, shared across a group of titles or linked across a network. The game information identifies the structure.

How a progressive pool changes

A progressive jackpot can grow when qualifying wagers add to a shared or game-specific pool, then reset or reduce after it is won.

The title rules identify the eligible version, trigger and prize split. A displayed total is not evidence that a win is due.

Read the trigger, not just the headline

Check whether the jackpot is won by a random feature, a specific symbol combination or a tournament result. The trigger may require a minimum stake, selected feature or eligible account status.

If those conditions are unclear, do not raise a stake until support confirms them.

Read the qualifying conditions

The stake level, bet configuration and game version may affect eligibility. The jackpot display does not replace the title rules.

Understand reset and shared-pool details

A progressive title may link a prize across several games or operators, or keep a separate local pool.

The rules should state how a win is triggered, whether the amount is shared, and how the counter resets.

A changing counter is not a signal that a win is close; avoid increasing a stake to chase it.
