Playing online casino games such as Pokies and Blackjack is never more exciting or thrilling than when a progressive jackpot is involved. It means nothing less than a spectacular win; if you are the lucky player who wins it, you really win. There is no two ways about it; those jackpots are massive.
For a long time, players in New Zealand associated progressive jackpots with online Pokies, which is perfectly understandable, as most games that offered such jackpots were Pokies. The nature of online gaming being what it is, leading software providers such as Microgaming have developed table games and other casino games with similar jackpots up for grabs.
What is a Progressive Jackpot?
A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that gets progressively bigger over time. The example that most Kiwis are probably most familiar with are weekly lotto jackpots. If not won one week, it rolls over to the next with something of a snowball effect.
Progressive jackpots are similar, although what makes them grow are the bets being placed as the game is being played. A tiny portion of those bets feed that jackpot so that, as long as real money bets are being placed, it will keep getting bigger until it has been won. Experience the thrills for yourself when you play progressive jackpot casino games on mobile at Mummys Gold.
In some cases, a specific game such as the online Pokies Mega Moolah has a dedicated progressive jackpot pool of its very own. In other cases, various games are linked to the same pool, which means that someone playing one Pokies, another playing another Pokies, and someone playing a table game or card game all stand a chance to win the same huge jackpot.
How Progressive Jackpots are Won
Given that progressive jackpot games often boast jackpots worth millions of dollars, you might think that software developers such as Microgaming make it very difficult for Kiwi players to win. Thankfully, that is not the case.
When you play the online Pokies, Blackjack, and other casino games that have progressive jackpots to be won, you will seldom need to do anything out of the ordinary. In most cases, you simply need to play the game at the maximum bet. In other cases, you can only play for the big jackpot if you trigger a bonus round by landing the correct symbols on the reels. A third form of progressive jackpot available to players in New Zealand sees the jackpots awarded totally at random.
