How do Jackpot Slots Work?
Jackpot slots are also known as progressive slots, and how they work is a rather ingenious method of gathering the prize pool from all over. Any online casinos that make use of a particular software provider which has a certain progressive slot, will have the game up on their website as per usual.
When any online punter comes along and funds their account with real money and starts playing that slot, a portion of the money played goes into the prize pool. Remember, this is network-wide, across the entire online casino industry that has the same software provider.
As a result, thee kinds of progressive slots will be able to pay out huge amounts of money almost on a daily basis because the money put into them is so plentiful.

Microgaming’s Mega Moolah is by far one of the most popular online progressive slots in the world. It regularly has a jackpot of over $5 million and having just one single spin of the reels can change your life forever. In fact, this happened 12 times in 2019 and the slot paid out over $79 million, putting it head and shoulders above all over progressive slots.
Mega Moolah is an African-themed slot, encouraging players to get the wild Lions for double their winnings. There are headhunter trophies that feature as scatters and hitting some can give you multiple free spins. The game also has four different progressive jackpots built into it and you’ll win either the Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpot based on how many lines you play.
Other popular online progressive slots include Space Venture, Aztec’s Millions, Megasaur, Irish Riches and Arabian Nights, all of which are above the $1 million mark.
