Jackpot games are one of the most popular categories at any online casino. Most gambling sites have them, some of the bigger ones feature up to 40 progressive games. The reason why they're so popular is easily explained: They're loaded with more money than any other type of game. Their winning sums develop quickly and become very big by design.
A progressive jackpot is a system across a massive number of terminals or video slots. Every time any player anywhere in the world places a wager on a progressive game, a small percentage of that wager is automatically added to the prize pool. Like this, a very nice dynamic can develop: A game becomes popular because it grows fast and there's a lot of money to be won, which again makes the game more popular. Some of these games have reached staggering sums before they were won. One example is the highest win ever in a slot game: A Greek player cracked Mega Moolah's jackpot at €6.3m – on a single bet.
These games have proven so popular that Microgaming's progressive network alone has paid out over €375m since it began. The fabulous success story of this type of game is also connected with the fact that their jackpots never fall back to zero. In what's called reseeding, by the terms and definitions of the game part of every big win goes straight back into the pot. The circle mentioned above in which a large amount of money attracts players that then drive the prize pool is started like this. Would the games fall back to zero, it would be much harder to get them going.
