Strategy and Tips – Mr Jackpot online jackpot guru

Welcome to the Strategies and Tips section, where the novice you can learn the basics and a few useful hints to help you hit the ground running. For the more experienced player, we are confident you could pick up a few new things about playing online casino jackpot games.

First thing first then: When approaching your preferred online casinos that you have found through Mr Jackpot, make sure you sign up with several accounts. This will allow you to maximise the bonuses they have on offer. Whilst sticking to one account, may seem the easiest option, you will soon realise your folly. From a personal perspective, throwing all your money at it is an option… it just isn’t one we would recommend. It is like the old adage of putting all your eggs in one basket. It can work, but why would you take the risk when other baskets are available?

Another tip is to keep an eye on how much you spend, have a set budget for the day, week or month and DON’T go over it. This is extremely hard to stick to, so work at it! You will regret it if you don’t!

If you’ve heard of progressive jackpots but you don’t know what they are, read on…

What are Progressive Jackpots?

A progressive Jackpot is simply an online jackpot which is continuingly being added to by games from a networked collection of other games. Gaming machines are commonly linked to one of these progressive jackpots resulting in several players, playing at different games, playing for the same jackpot and thereby increasing it each time they play.

As a result of this networking, while the odds of winning remain relatively consistent, the potential jackpot you could take home can be huge. For example, scoring a Royal Flush in video poker is an excellent hand, and you would most likely see your winnings paid out at odds of around 800 to 1. Hold a Royal Flush on a progressive jackpot, and that figure could bounce to hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of dollars!

The reason why these jackpots can be so incredibly large, is incredibly simple. With the machines all networked, every time a single machine is played, a percentage of that stage gets added to the progressive jackpot. In some games, most particularly with online video poker, these can really get to awesome levels, simply due to the number of machines linked.

How do you clean up on a Progressive Jackpot?

As you would expect, winning a progressive jackpot is not easy. And few people ever experience it. That said, there are ways in which you can increase your chances. The most likely pay out comes from networked video poker machines. This is simply because of the sheer size of networks, and number of players at any one time.

To win however, you will need to score a Royal Flush. Something that is rare anyway. However, just hitting one in your playing career, could see you through for the remainder of your playing days! Yes, they really do get that large!

It is important to remember to stick to your guns when playing however. You need to play the maximum amount of coins allowed per hand. Anything less, will see your payout reduced down to the “relatively” low standard amount for your hard won Royal Flush. And that would be a killer, when you could’ve been walking away with a recession busting amount!

It is not a game for the faint of heart though. If you can’t afford to lose the money you are staking, as I said before, do NOT stake it.
