The system of cumulative jackpots, or as they are also called "progressive", has been in effect for several decades. Until recently, large wins were not very frequent, but quite regularly, but in recent years (a period of 5-7 years), users of virtual gambling establishments began to notice that truly large wins have become a rarity. As a result, today almost 90% gamers are sure that the chances of hitting the jackpot are negligible, or more precisely, tend to zero. This led to the fact that many switched to machines that do not provide for large wins, but they fall out much more often. Developers, for their part, began releasing slots that lack not only progressive, but also fixed jackpots of the usual type. The result of this was the emergence of new solutions that allow you to retain the gambling audience. Below is information on how the system of large wins has changed at different providers of gambling software.
Evolution: The jackpot system is changing
Recently, not only gamblers, but also game developers have refused to participate in online competitions that allow you to win a large prize. Modern online casinos know very well that customers' chances of hitting the jackpot in the form of a cumulative prize are negligible. Accordingly, the marketing value of this tool is very small. As a result, some manufacturers have developed new progressive jackpot systems, whose mechanics are significantly different from the previous ones.
Realistic Games
According to the company's commercial director Robert Lee, the progressive jackpot should not be a decoration of the gambling establishment, but really won, so the provider decided to develop a more realistic program. As a result, the first slot in the history of this brand appeared, which is called Funky Spin. The developer equipped the device with only three reels and five active lines. The manufacturer provided three progressive jackpots, each of which can really be won regardless of the bet. The RTP of the slot includes any bets.
When three logos of the device appear on the active line at once, several arrows (colored) are activated, which direct to the Wheel of Fortune. As a result of the prize round, the gamer gets a chance to win one of the progressive jackpots (Gold, Silver or Bronze). As a result, the winnings are credited to the user's game account.
Pragmatic Play
The usual progressive jackpots have been replaced by this provider with an original promotion. As a result, players get a chance to win an instant prize in the form of a large sum for successful spins launched in the manufacturer's machines. During the year, starting in February 2022, the developer is raffling off 1 million euros every month in the Daily Drops & Wins promotion. Gamers have a chance to win more than 500 thousand prizes.
This unique promotion consists of weekly tournaments, as well as daily prize draws. To join it, you need to launch any slot machine of the manufacturer that participates in the promotion. Each new tournament starts on Wednesday. Four competitions are launched weekly: on roulette tables, blackjack or baccarat, as well as for fans of reel slots. Information about this promotion can be found in online casinos that have the manufacturer's products.
Red Tiger
The company has entered into partnership agreements with several online casinos, which allowed it to develop and launch a system of innovative jackpots. It allows you to win a large prize while having fun in any of the provider's machines. The system includes the usual progressive jackpot, as well as two exclusive options:
- Ceiling Jackpots. It is possible to win when a certain amount of money is spent on bets.
- Daily Jackpots. Won daily until a certain hour.
In addition, the provider offers three types of guaranteed jackpots that fall daily. There are three types. The first can be received once within 24 hours. The second and third - every 3 or 4 hours, respectively. These jackpots are not available in all casinos where Red Tiger machines operate.
TOTAL
Other game software manufacturers have also come up with original systems of accumulative jackpots that differ from the usual mechanism of such prizes. This contributes to the fact that gamers become regular customers of the chosen club and join competitions, the result of which can be a big win.
