Different Types of Progressive Jackpots

[Manne]

There are a couple different types of progressive slot machines in a land based casino. All land-based casinos, and most online casinos, feature several types of progressive slots.

Individual Progressives: This type of slot machine is self-contained, it doesn't receive any jackpot contributions from other jackpot / progressive machines.

Linked Progressives: Linked progressive are groups or machines that are tied into each other. All contribute to one common jackpot.

Multi-Location: Multi-Location progressives are the ones that people dream about. These consist of banks of several hundred machines located in many different casinos that all contribute to one giant pot of gold. Your odds of winning those millions are about the same as your odds are for winning the lottery. But then again someone always wins.

I am a little skeptical hitting one of those jackpots, but then again I have some seriously bad luck at times
