Progressive jackpots are the prize every gambler in the world dreams of hitting. Thousands of wagers, if not millions, contribute to a single jackpot that grows to a staggering size and is paid out to one lucky individual.
Now, the chances of being that fortunate player hinge on the slot's configuration and the type of progressive jackpot being chased.
Local jackpots, for instance, are limited to a game and get bigger only with the wagers made at a single casino or a single family of casinos, which is why they are considerably smaller.
Although they are attached to the same slot, the values of each local jackpot will differ from one casino to another.
Network jackpots, in turn, have a fixed value and are hosted in hundreds of different casinos and grow with a part of every bet made in every site where the slot is available, meaning that the pay-out is monstrous and often reaches the millions.
Examples of slots with local jackpots include NetEnt’s Divine Fortune and Cosmic Fortune. While some popular network jackpots are Mega Fortune, Mega Moolah and Hall of Gods.
