\"\"One of the biggest thrills in casino gambling is playing for slots progressive jackpots. These prizes increase with every spin and sometimes give you a chance to win big.<\/p>\n

But as fun as playing progressive slots is, there are also some drawbacks you should consider. I’m going to discuss 3 main problems that you’ll run into with slots progressive jackpots.<\/p>\n

1. You Have to Qualify for the Jackpot<\/h2>\n

The bigger the jackpot you’re playing for, the more likely that you’ll have to meet specific qualifications. And you can’t win the jackpot if you don’t meet these requirements.<\/p>\n

The most-common progressive jackpot requirement is that you use all the active paylines. For example, you’d need to play all 50 lines on a 50-payline slot.<\/p>\n

Another potential requirement involves betting the max coins size. For instance, you need to wager $1 per line if this is the largest coin size (you don’t have to use all of the paylines, though).<\/p>\n

2. Progressive Slots can be Expensive<\/h2>\n

\"\"The aforementioned requirements make progressive slots more expensive.<\/p>\n

I don’t mind playing all of the paylines for one cent a piece, because this at least provides plenty of chances to win. But games that require the max coin size will cost a lot.<\/p>\n

Also watch out for slot machines in land-based casinos. Some of these have 100-300 lines and force you to use all of them to win the jackpot.<\/p>\n

3. Winning Big Slots Progressive Jackpots is Very Unlikely<\/h2>\n

Don’t plan on winning a huge progressive slots jackpot. The reason why is because the odds of you winning are very low.<\/p>\n

The average player won’t win the progressive jackpot and will be dealing with far lower payback as a result. For example, Microgaming’s Mega Moolah only pays back 88% if you don’t win the multimillion-dollar jackpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m not trying to convince you to completely avoid slots progressive jackpots in this post. But be aware of the potential drawbacks so that you don’t spend all your time on these types of games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
