Progressive Slots
There are fundamentally two unrelated types of slot machines; flat
rate and progressives. Flat rate machines have a fixed jackpot payoff
while progressive machine's jackpot keep on growing with each coin put
in until hit. The rules to slots are fairly easy. You deposit coins
(usually 1-4) and spin the reels. In a physical casino, you spin the
reels by either pushing a button or pulling on a lever, either you prefer.
In an online casino, you would use your mouse to click on the button
or lever. A straight slot will pay your winning combinations according
to an agreed schedule.
A progressive slots machine will pay you in a similar way except if
you hit the progressive jackpot. When you hit the jackpot, you typically
win a large amount of money. In a progressive slot game, a percentage
of each coin dropped in the slot machine is added to the jackpot. If
no one hits a jackpot in a while, it can grow to be quite large. It
is this large progressive jackpot that is often times the main decoy
for many slot players. You may go a long while without making much money,
but if you hit the big one, then you instantly win a load of cash. It's
a pretty good-looking proposition, and an irresistible one for the true
gambler.
