What Are Jackpot King Slots?

If you look for jackpot slots, you'll see that the Jackpot King category includes a large selection of titles like Paddy Power Bonanza Fortune Play, Eye of Horus: The Golden Tablet, and Fishin' Frenzy: The Big Catch. These are all versions of popular games that have had the Jackpot King mechanics added to them, giving you the chance to win one of the three top prizes known as Jackpot King, Regal Pot, and Royal Pot.

These amounts are increased every time someone plays the game, meaning that they usually climb constantly throughout the day. As with all progressive jackpots, the amount is reset to the original level when they're won, meaning that they start building up again until they're won by someone else and so on.

These jackpot prizes can be earned on any spin when a special mini-game is triggered at random. This lets the player attempt to collect crowns and their success at doing so determines whether they pick up any of the top prizes listed. Each of the three jackpots is shared across all of the games in this range, and we can see information such as when each one was last claimed and the average amount of the prize.

Other Jackpot Slots

The category we just looked at is an example of jackpot slots where you need to play through a mini-game or bonus round to collect the top prize, and there are others that also work in this way. Any specific rules will be mentioned in the individual game, so it's always a good idea to read the rules or look through the details in the paytable before getting started. Many game developers such as BluePrint Gaming have handy guides for their games to help you understand what to expect. This means that you get started knowing exactly what you need to do to win the biggest prizes in any game.

You'll also find slots where the jackpot is simply triggered at random when you get a payline filled with a set of the game's special symbols. This means that you only need to understand which symbol gives you a jackpot win. In fact, technically, you don't even need to know this as any wins are automatically awarded and then credited to your account. As a simple game of chance, there's nothing you can do to influence the outcome anyway.

It's also worth noting that not all jackpots are progressive in the way that they are with Jackpot King games. In some cases, the game's top prizes are fixed jackpots that are always for the same figure. So even if someone wins the jackpot immediately before you, this doesn't have any effect on the amount you can win.

The Jackpot King slots provide a different type of progressive jackpot mechanism that adds a mini-game to the gameplay. Since the same jackpots are shared across all of the titles in this range, the maximum amount that can be won is the same on any of the Jackpot King titles at any given time.
