JACKPOT SLOTS AT ENERGYCASINO

Jackpot slots dominate the Most Played charts at online casinos all over the world, and for a good reason! These incredible casino games offer something a lot more entertaining than any regular bonus feature — jackpots. Games with jackpots all feature familiar reel layouts, beautifully designed symbols and other popular features, like Megaways™ and Free Spins bonuses. Jackpots come in many shapes and sizes, and they can be fixed or progressive. Fixed jackpots offer a predetermined amount as the top prize of the game, which can usually be won through a bonus round or completely at random. Progressive jackpots, on the other hand, take the cake when it comes to payouts! These legendary jackpots are featured in some of the most popular online casino slots, including mega-hits like Mega Moolah, Divine Fortune and Imperial Riches™. Let’s have a look at what jackpot slots are all about!

HOW DID THE FIRST JACKPOTS COME TO BE?

Like all online casino slots, jackpot games have their roots planted in the same soil that sprouted the one-armed bandits. Gambling machines like these operated with real coins, which players would insert for a chance to win. Coins gathered from all losing spins, twists and lever pulls would be the maximum jackpot prize, awarded to a lucky player who manages to hit the most valuable symbol sequence. Today, these slot machines have evolved to accommodate the digital age, offering lottery-like prize pots to the few, luckiest of players.

WHAT IS A PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT?

A progressive jackpot is a cash purse that grows with every real wager placed on the game. How does it work? When players place their bet and spin the reels, a small percentage of that wager will be added to the jackpot total. The more players play, the larger the progressive jackpot will become.

There are three types of progressive jackpots: indefinite, daily and hourly jackpots. Indefinite jackpots do not have any time limit or expiration. The odds of winning them are extremely low; thus, these prize pots tend to keep increasing over months and months of playtime. Unlike these limitless pots, slots with daily jackpots guarantee a jackpot drop once a day. That’s right, one lucky player will snag that sweet jackpot daily. Similarly, hourly jackpots drop every hour. Both the daily and hourly jackpot slots will feature a timer, displayed below each jackpot prize. If no one is lucky enough to win the jackpot and the timer reaches zero — the jackpot will drop then and there. Since the hit frequency is much higher, these types of progressive jackpots tend to be smaller.

PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT SLOTS

When hunting for the next extraordinary game to play, have a look at slots with progressive jackpots. Developers from all over the world bring their best games to the table, topped with a chance to win one of the many jackpots. These games come in a variety of themes; venture to the depths of the Atlantic in search of Atlantean Treasures, open the legendary Book of Atem, or prove your worth to the deities of Ancient Greece in a bid for wow-tastic winnings!

So, how does one go about winning the best jackpot in Ireland? The first — and most important — thing to keep in mind is that jackpots and jackpot slots are, by nature, of incredibly high volatility. This means that while the potential winnings are quite large, the odds of landing them are quite low. Across all games, the jackpot drops are random, but some are locked behind additional features. In NetEnt’s Divine Fortune, for example, players must first trigger the game’s bonus feature. In this feature, the gameplay occurs on an alternate set of reels with different mechanics. The number of rows filled with golden coins will determine which of the jackpots the player wins, if they manage to fill any of the rows at all. In other online slots, jackpots may require a collection mechanic to complete (eg: gather 40 Bonus symbols to activate the Jackpot feature). In others, the jackpot may simply drop at random on any spin!

Next, take a look at the game’s rules before you place your wager and spin the reels. Jackpot slots tend to be some of the most innovative games, with plenty of features and special symbols. Understanding how these symbols and features work may help you in your gameplay, so have a look! Additionally, the rules of the game may stipulate whether or not there is a minimum betting prerequisite to qualify for the jackpot, or if wagering a certain amount may influence the chances of that jackpot win. You’ll find that some jackpot games recommend max betting for the highest chances of winning the ultimate prize; however, please be wary of such high-risk betting and make sure that all of your casino gambling decisions are responsible.

At EnergyCasino, players can find a wide selection of progressive jackpot slots in a variety of game themes. To browse our portfolio of jackpot slots, head to the Casino lobby and filter by ‘Jackpot’ or ‘Daily Jackpots’.

FREE JACKPOT SLOTS

If it’s your first time playing jackpot slots or you’re looking to try out some new games, you should consider playing free demos before you place any real-money bets. All wagers and winnings in demos are virtual, but you can still enjoy all of the same features and fantastic bonus rounds that they offer. Playing free demos is also a great way to familiarise yourself with the inner workings of online slots, making it a perfect opportunity for new players to explore the casino’s portfolio.

Playing for free will also help you gain a better understanding of the game’s RTP and volatility which, in turn, can aid you in making responsible gambling decisions while selecting the best jackpot slot that suits your betting preferences. Before you wager real cash on online jackpot slots, make sure that you play through the demo to find out how the bonus rounds and jackpots are activated.

All set? To play the demos you may need to register and verify your casino account, as not all jurisdictions allow site visitors to partake in gambling activities, albeit with virtual funds.
