Tips for Progressive Slots
Progressive Slot Machines
Progressive slot machines are exactly like ordinary slot machines, other than the jackpots that they feature. In regular slots, the jackpot is fixed based on the pay table for a particular machine. In most regular slots, jackpots are won when the maximum amount is wagered, with the maximum number of coins. In progressive slots, the jackpot is not fixed. For every bet, a fixed amount of it gets added to the jackpot. This way, with each bet made on a slot machine, the jackpot keeps growing, often to tremendous amounts!
Jackpot System
The jackpot increases by a small amount with every coin wagered. The rule is usually that only players betting the maximum credits per spin will qualify for the jackpot but all players, regardless of the amount bet, contribute to the jackpot. If you bet less than the maximum credits, you contribute to the progressive jackpot without having a chance of ever winning it. When playing progressive slots, if youre aiming for the jackpot, always bet the maximum amount needed to qualify.
Many physical “brick and mortar” casinos have several banks of identical progressive slot machines, usually offering jackpots that can vary a lot. Your best bet is to wager your money on the machines with the highest jackpot, and this applies to online progressive slots as well.
Types of Progressive Slots
Individual Progressive slot machines are stand-alone and are not a part of a combined “bank” of machines, and they do not contribute to another machines (or groups) jackpot.
Linked Progressive slots are groups of machines that are connected to each other and share a common jackpot that can grow to a huge amount.
Location Progressive slots comprise of hundreds or even thousands of machines located in different casinos (often) in different cities, where bets are combined into one gigantic jackpot. The odds of hitting the jackpot are very high, with lucky winners sometimes taking home millions of dollars.
Strategy
It is said that the best strategy for progressive slots is to focus on groups of linked slot machines offering the maximum jackpot. If a jackpot has not recently been won on a machine, your chances of hitting it are higher, as a machine will reset itself to a low default dollar amount after a jackpot has been won. After many players have gambled at a particular machine, the jackpot will build up to a dollar amount worth betting on.
Often, before a jackpot is hit, a series of smaller (but often substantial) wins might reduce the pot and the speed at which it grows. If you are going to go for this kind of jackpot, wager the maximum amount.
In case you arent aiming to win the big jackpot and are playing for fun and small winnings, go ahead and bet any amount that you wish, and have fun!
Some People Have All the Luck !
Some People Have All the Luck !
Some people have all the luck! Dan Polla who runs a gas station along US 90 in Mullan Idaho hit another Idaho lottery jackpot. He bought a $10 Idaho Lottery Wild 10’s scratch ticket and was astounded when he realized he had won $100,000. While collecting the $67,200 prize after taxes Polla said the prize “didn’t seem real until today.”
This is not the first time Polla has hit the jackpot by any means. Earlier this year in July he won a $50,000 jackpot and as if that wasn’t enough, he won $1,500 in 2004 and then scored $15,000 during that years Lottery sponsored live game show at the State Fair in Coeur d’ Alene. The grand total is a whopping $167.000! Not bad for a guy who runs a gas station!
Polla does have a lucky charm, a 1998 quarter, the same year his son was born. Polla also stated he will be cutting back on buying lottery tickets as he thinks it will be quite some time before he wins again. Polla plans to pay off some bills and take his son to Disneyland. There have been a few isolated cases of multiple lottery winners such as the central Ohio auto dealer who won the Ohio Lottery twice or the 81 year old Iowa man who won $81,000 in three lottery wins.
There have been many stories about multiple lottery wins. In Canada a 7 time lottery winner just won $17 million dollars. The lucky winner had recently traded the tropical climate of Madagascar for the frozen Canadian north. The Canadian Lottery is investigating the win and so far everything looks on the up and up. In the early days of the Ohio lottery a millionaire won the lottery not once but twice!
In rural areas like Idaho and much of the Pacific Northwest lottery players must drive considerable distances to buy lotto tickets. If lotteries in these states would allow the sale of online lottery tickets players could purchase lottery tickets from their home computers or cell phones. The idea is gaining in popularity throughout the US and lottery experts say it is only a matter of time before most state lotteries join the 21st century.
As any lottery player will tell you “you can’t win unless you’re in.” We at LuckyLotto congratulate Mr. Polla on his lottery wins and wish him and his family a great trip to Disneyland!
