Progressive Jackpots
What is a progressive jackpot?
A progressive jackpot is a winnable pot of money that continually increases in size. It does this by retaining a percentage of the value bet on multiple contributing games.
What is a ‘seed’ value?
This is the amount the jackpot starts with and the amount it is reset to after it has been won.
Who contributes to the progressive jackpots?
The Operator places the initial seed value in the jackpot when the jackpot is created. Players then fund the jackpot value and the following seed values by placing qualifying bets on contributing games. Should the jackpot be won more than once in quick succession before the next seed amount is available, the Operator will add the necessary funds to make up the difference.
How much is contributed to a progressive jackpot?
This varies by jackpot. Below is a table showing active jackpots and their contributions;
Jackpot Name |
Seed | Player Contribution | Contributing Games |
Slots Jackpot | €1000.00 | 0.2% of Stake |
Africa Wild |
How do I know the monetary value of the progressive jackpot?
The value of the progressive jackpot is usually displayed at the top of the game screen.
Who can win a progressive jackpot?
A progressive jackpot can be won by anyone playing one of its contributing games, as long as the player has met the criteria set by the Operator. These criteria are stated in the game’s individual help file. For instance, in the Pyramids of Anubis slot game, a player must have bet on the maximum number of paylines and achieved 5 Wild icons on one payline to win the Slots Jackpot.
How many times can I win the Jackpot per spin?
Once.
What happens if multiple players win a progressive jackpot at the same time?
As timings of bets placed are recorded to the microsecond, it is not possible for multiple players to win the same jackpot at exactly the same time. If multiple players placed bets that would qualify to win a jackpot in the same second, the system would order them sequentially by microsecond. The winner would then receive the full jackpot amount and the second player would receive the seed amount.
What happens when a progressive jackpot is won?
The game notifies the winner.
Does the ‘maximum payout per bet’ limit apply to progressive jackpot wins?
No
