If you're looking for the biggest prizes available online then the progressive jackpot games are the way to go. With these games the jackpot grows as people play until one player scoops the lot. Most progressive games are slots however there are also some table games such as Caribbean Stud Poker that also have jackpots. Check out the current jackpots totals below.
Microgaming casinos feature the following progressive jackpot games with the biggest being Mega Moolah which has a starting jackpot of £1,000,000 has been won at as high as £6,300,000.
Playtech casinos feature the following jackpot games which include slots as well as table games like blackjack. The highest jackpot from Playtech was a £5,162,428 prize won on the Beach Life slot.
IGT has three or their popular Mega Jackpots series of slots available online. Please note that just like in Las Vegas if you win one of the Mega Jackpots it is paid in installments directly by IGT over 20 years.
As you can see from the figures above there are some serious jackpots available online. It is worth mentioning that the chances of winning the bigger jackpots are probably in a similar league as winning the lottery. Still, they do get won and these online jackpots have made quite a few instant millionaires in recent years.
The way these jackpots work is that a percentage of every bet made on a game is added to the jackpot total. When one player hits the correct combination for the jackpot they win the entire prize pool and then the jackpot resets to its base level. The base level for each game varies. Currently the highest base reset levels are the Mega Jackpots (£1,500,000) and the Mega Moolah series (£1,000,000) from Microgaming.
Except for the IGT Mega Jackpots all of the other jackpots are paid our in a single payment. This means that if you hit one of the million Pound plus jackpots you become an instant millionaire. While the chances of winning are slim they can and do hit at any time. For example a lucky Betfred Casino player from the UK won £5,162,428 on the Beach Life progressive slot in early 2012.
Of course we cannot predict when the jackpots will be won but the biggest tip we can give you is to be sure to read the game rules before you start playing. Some of the jackpot games require a set bet level to qualify for the jackpot or a side bet in the case of the table games. If you do not bet the correct amount you cannot win the main jackpot.
