Exactly How Jackpots Work in Slots

When you're spinning the reels of your favourite online slot games at Jackpotjoy, there's nothing quite like the excitement of landing a jackpot. But have you ever wondered exactly how jackpots work, or how you might trigger them?  

Grab yourself your favourite cuppa and let's explore the entertaining world of online jackpot slots and how they can add to your overall gaming experience. 

What's a jackpot anyway?

First things first, what exactly is a jackpot? Simply, a jackpot is a large cash prize you can win from a slot game, usually triggered by special symbols, specific combinations, or bonus rounds. These jackpots can range from fixed amounts to ever-growing progressive jackpots that can climb to fantastic sums. 

Let's look closer at the different types of jackpots we offer at Jackpotjoy: 

Fixed jackpots 

Fixed jackpots have a set amount that never changes, no matter how many players join the game. They're as easy as pie to understand; you know exactly what you're playing for, and the prize could potentially be yours anytime. 

Progressive jackpots 

Progressive jackpots are the stars of the slot world. Each time someone plays a slot connected to a progressive jackpot system, a small portion of each bet is added to the total jackpot value.  

These contributions can quickly add up, turning the jackpot into substantial sums. When someone finally hits the jackpot, the value resets before starting to build again.  

Talk about hitting the jackpot in style!
