Progressive Slots- Progressive Jackpot Machines

Posted by admin | February 15, 2009 .

Progressive slots are the nothing but slot machines that offer huge jackpots. As suggestive by the name the nature of jackpot in such slot machines is progressive that is it grows continuously. The final prize i.e. the jackpot is derived from some fixed percentage of all the money that is used to play on that single slot machine. The special thing about these machines is that a player can continue to get his money rewards on the machine even if he is not getting any jackpot as the jackpot is provided only if specific hits, that too on pre-decided winning spots, are made by the player.

Progressive slots are of different types. The first one is a Stand-Alone progressive slot machine which is in no way linked to other slot machines. Like other slot machines the jackpot is again a fixed percentage of the bets that are made on that particular machine. The jackpot progresses with every new bet made.

The second category machines are the In-House slot machines. These machines are grouped together and linked with one another unlike stand alone machines. All these machines can be operated from a single casino or from different casinos as well depending if the casinos are owned by a single running gaming authority. The jackpots offered by these machines are really overwhelming and far higher than the ones offered by stand alone machines.

The last ones are Wide Area slot machines. These slot machines are also linked to one another but they are not owned by a single casino or a single casino running authority but by a collection of different such authorities that are active. They offer the highest jackpot amounts out of the three.
