Progressive Slot Machine

Progressive Slot Machine

Most slot machines pay a fixed amount for the top prize when you hit a specific combination. There are more and more machines that will pay out a progressive prize when you hit the right combination. These are called progressive slot machines. Progressive slot machines operate by increasing the amount of the top prize every time someone plays one of these machines. The top prize on a progressive slot machine can vary from a few thousand dollars to sometimes several million if the progressive combination has not paid out for some time. You can read the value of the progressive prize usually somewhere along the top of the slot machine.

The casinos have calculated the odds to make sure they always come out ahead. So if you are playing a progressive slot machine, and if it is a large payout, you can expect the smaller payouts to occur somewhat less often as a result than the smaller progressive slot machines or the fixed amount machines. Still when you hear about someone winning a large jackpot it is usually on a progressive slot machine.

Whenever you play a progressive slot machine always, always play the maximum. We once saw a man who played only 2 quarters in a progressive slot machine that required three quarters. He hit the jackpot combination and won a $1000 prize, when he could have won over $225,000 if he only had one more quarter in the machine. Everyone actually felt sorry for him when they realized that he had not played the maximum. If you are going to play a progressive slot machine, play the maximum or don't play them at all!
