However, there are some notable reasons why you should instead consider small fixed jackpots.<\/p>\n
A fixed jackpot stays the same no matter how many bets are made on a game. For example, a jackpot worth 2,500 coins will never increase or decrease.<\/p>\n
These prizes aren’t usually as big as the largest progressive payouts. However, the following three reasons should still make you consider small fixed jackpots.<\/p>\n
Your odds of winning a massive progressive slots jackpot are very small. For example, your odds of hitting the jackpot with Vegas’ Megabucks slot machine are approximately 1 in 50 million.<\/p>\n
These prospects are only grimmer when considering that you must bet $3 per spin on Megabucks. Most other big progressive games don’t require a $3 wager, but your odds of winning the jackpot are just as long.<\/p>\n
Slots with smaller top prizes differ because they actually give you a real chance to win. You might have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 in 100,000 odds of winning a 2,500-coin jackpot.<\/p>\n
A portion of every progressive slots bet goes towards seeding the jackpot. Anywhere from 1% to 2% of your wagers might go into the top prize.<\/p>\n
Fixed jackpot games differ, though, because your bets don’t flow into a jackpot that you may never win. Instead, all of your wagers are put towards winning realistic prizes.<\/p>\n
Your chances of winning money in big progressive jackpot games change with every wager. A slot with a huge jackpot may only offer 88% base return to player (RTP).<\/p>\n
This is terrible in the grand scheme of things. It’s only when the jackpot grows to a large degree that the RTP becomes respectable.<\/p>\n
However, you don’t have to worry about this with fixed games. The payback stays the same, meaning you can look forward to consistent chances of winning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
