Progressive jackpots are the ultimate dream for millions of casino players around the world.
Unlike standard fixed payouts, progressive jackpots continue to grow larger until someone finally wins.
Funding the Massive Prizes
The concept behind a progressive jackpot is brilliantly simple: every bet contributes to the prize.
After a win, the jackpot immediately resets to a predetermined "seed" amount, usually one million dollars.

Different Progressive Networks
Local progressives link several machines within a single casino, offering medium-sized jackpot pools.
Networked games link thousands of casinos globally, pooling funds from players across the entire internet.
The Odds and Strategy
