Slots - Progressive Jackpots Guide
Do you like slots and dream of the big win? Do you mind betting a little to win a lot? If your answer is yes to both of these questions, you'd almost certainly enjoy progressive jackpot slots.
These slots have become increasingly popular and offer the largest possible payout when you win. To make up for the massive bonus payouts, there are slightly fewer regular, small payouts. Instead, the lucky player who hits the jackpot wins a huge amount. The progressive jackpot increases day by day, and it often takes several months or even years before someone hits the jackpot. When it does happen, the jackpot resets to a minimum amount and starts building up until someone wins it again.
Many of the progressive jackpots require that you bet the maximum amount, but there are several others that give you a shot at the jackpot for as little as the minimum amount.
So, which progressive jackpot slots are offered at online casinos?
The variety is impressive, and most operators have several different online progressive jackpots on the menu.
MicroGaming
Recommended MicroGaming Casinos: Prime Casino, Jackpot City Casino, Spin Palace Casino.
King Cashalot
This is one of the most well-known slot machines when it comes to progressive jackpots. The jackpot often exceeds $1,000,000 and is paid out regularly. In order to win the jackpot, you must bet the maximum amount, but that's hardly surprising considering the size of the jackpot. King Cashalot also offers a bonus game with a great payout percentage. If you want to try a game with a shot at huge amounts of money - this is the game for you.

Mega Moolah
One of MicroGaming's latest inventions, Mega Moolah, has an exciting and unusual concept: no matter how much you bet, you always have a shot at the jackpot, but winning chances increase with the stakes. Other than that, there are four separate progressive jackpots; when the progressive jackpot wheel starts spinning, there are four possible outcomes in the form of different jackpots. It's all packaged with very nice visuals and sound.

PlayTech
Recommended PlayTech Casinos: Europa Casino, Casino Tropez, EuroGrand Casino.
Queen of the Pyramids
This is a PlayTech slot with an Egyptian theme - get five queens in a row to trigger the jackpot. Besides the chance to win big on the jackpot, Queen of the Pyramids also offers an amazing 100 free spins and bonus games. The combination of these elements makes it one of the most complete slots on the market, and one of PlayTech's most popular. Highly recommended!

Beach Llife
If I told you PlayTech has a jackpot worth over a million dollars, is that something you might be interested in? The jackpot on the Beach Life slots is very tempting indeed ($1,250,000 when this article was written). The environment is soothing, with a touch of sun, surfing and relaxation, but what's more exciting is the possibility to hit a massive jackpot. If you manage to catch five suns on the 20th line - the money is yours.

Mega Money Mine
Vegas Tech offers a simpler take on slots with this single line progressive jackpot. There is only one line and a maximum stake of $4.50, and you need to bet the max to have a shot at the jackpot. If you prefer playing for less you should avoid it, but if you're looking for an easy game with a single line and a chance to win big, this one could be right for you.

RTG

Jackpot Piñatas
This 20-line slot machine with a progressive jackpot is a really cool game with great opportunities to win big. In line with Mexican tradition, you whack the piñata to get its content. If you manage to get three piñatas you activate the bonus game, and if this goes well, you win 200 times your stake plus 25 free spins. However, the most interesting feature of the game is of course the jackpot, which pays out when you get five special piñatas in a row. When this article was written, the jackpot was worth $350,000, so why not give it a spin?

Millionaire Genie

When this article was written the jackpot is worth $1,790,000 - so this is the game to play if you want to win a really massive amount. Just fork up $3 and it could be yours. Just like Mega Money Mine (RTG), Millionaire Genie has only a single line and a small stake relative to the jackpot. The difference between the two is that the aforementioned has an even larger jackpot and smaller stakes.
