Progressive Games - An Overview
By basic definition progressive games are any game that features the opportunity for a player to win a substantial monetary jackpot. That jackpot amount increases a pre determined percentage with each spin of the wheel. Progressive gaming machines are linked via a network system than can be internal or external. This network setting allows for jackpots to quickly increase as more players join a game that is already in progress.
Progressive games display the current jackpot amount on a meter that is located on the front of the machine. The jackpot amount is awarded when one or more players reach a specific symbol or card hand combination. Examples of these would be a royal flush for a video poker machine or four high value symbols such as a diamond on a slot machine. When one of these or other combinations are obtained the jackpot pays out to the player and is then re-set to a minimum amount playing level.
The percentage contribution towards the jackpot amount occurs on each player spin of the wheel or deal of the cards. This is a pre determined amount set by the casino which also makes a small contribution to the jackpot amount as well. In the event a machine maintains a 5% house edge, the casino contributes 1% additional percentage to the jackpot. This gives the players a sense of taking money from the casino and entices them to play a game or two on progressive machines.
Another attractive feature that has players flocking to progressive gaming machines includes visibly rising jackpot amount meters. Such displays are often presented on vibrant LED displays that have the ability to catch a player’s attention from across the room. These displays can be so extravagant that a player who had not previously touched a progressive gaming machine may be willing to give it a shot simply because of the vibrant packaging.
In order to take home the highest jackpot amount, a player must play the maximum coin combination at all times. Many times that combination is a total of 5 credits or coins for any given spin on the machine. All bets placed for each spin contributes to the jackpot amount whether it is placed at maximum credit amounts or not. As such, progressive games with maximum coin combinations of 10 will feature jackpot amounts higher than that of a 5 coin maximum machine.
A selection of progressive gaming machines place the odds of wining in favour of the player as opposed to the industry standard of the house. An example of this can be found in progressive video poker machines. Here a player has the ability to develop a winning strategy that increases the odds of winning. Video poker machines feature a standard payout odds based on frequency. This is in sharp contrast to the unpredictable nature of symbols lining up in winning form on slot machines or other progressive gaming machines.
Many casinos go one step further to entice players to make repeat visits to their facilities. This takes the form of players clubs. A player fills out an application form and receives a membership card. This card is used on each visit by inserting it into a slot located on the gaming machine. As a player receives credits through wins on a progressive machine, this information is stored on the membership card.
At a later date, this information is transferred into a point value system that rewards a player with coupons for food and beverage discounts, free merchandise and other give away items that are determined by a casino program. Popular progressive games in casinos across the globe are any mega jackpot machine and the Wheel of Fortune machines.
