Jackpot Basic Rules

Choosing the Best Game for the Job – Earlier we mentioned that winning the progressive jackpot is simply a case of being in the right place at the right time. This is very true.
It is impossible to guarantee someone can win at a progressive jackpot because as long as multiple people are qualified to win it is nothing more than a complicated lottery.

So, that leaves two choices. You can either try to get everyone else to quit, which I guarantee is impossible, or you can find a game you’re good at that will give you a long-term chance to win.

Choosing the best game to qualify for progressive jackpots is a case of looking for the game that offers you the lowest house edge. This is highly important because in order to qualify for the progressive prize you will have to bet the maximum amount most of the time.

So – What are the Choices?

Typical online casinos offer the following types of games for progressive prizes: online slots, online video poker and blackjack/roulette.

If you are a keen blackjack player, you will soon notice the differences with the progressive version of the game. The dealer is a lot harder to beat. With roulette, chances are you will be forced to play American style roulette with 0 and 00 which increases the house edge even further.

Slot machines have such a high house edge, many casinos offer payback incentives! However, this does not always apply to the progressive jackpots.

It would clearly seem that video poker is one of the few games that mix a bit of skill with luck. However, our recommendation is to try them all out and see which you lose the least money on. Alternatively, simply find the one that is most enjoyable. After all, gambling should be as enjoyable as every other hobby or sport.
