Quick answer
A progressive jackpot is a prize pool that grows with every bet placed on the game.
A small slice of every spin feeds the pot until one lucky player wins it all.
When won, the pot resets to a base seed amount and starts growing again.
This guide explains standalone pots, network pools, and trigger rules.
Key facts:
- Meaning: A growing cash pot fed by player bets
- Growth rule: A tiny cut of every spin feeds the pot
- Reset level: Returns to a set seed amount after every win
- Types: Single game pots and shared network pools
Single vs Network Jackpots
Know the two main jackpot types:
- Single Game Pots: The pot grows only from bets placed on that one game.
- Shared Network Pools: Thousands of players across many sites feed a huge shared pot.
For example, Jackpot Fishing links prize pools across active rooms.
How the pot grows: Simple math
Here is how the money adds up:
- 1,000 players spin a slot at ₱10 per spin.
- The rule says 1% of every bet goes to the pot.
- Each spin adds ₱0.10 to the pot.
- After 100,000 spins, ₱10,000 has been added to the base prize.
How are jackpots triggered?
Jackpots trigger in three ways:
1. Random trigger: Any normal spin can win the pot at random.
2. Special symbols: Landing 5 rare jackpot symbols on a line.
3. Bonus game: Winning the final stage of a wheel mini-game.
