 |  Deciding Between Progressive and Non-Progressive Slots at Online Casinos
7 Dec 2006
Newcomers may be keen to take up slots at online casinos but can be forgiven for feeling slightly overwhelmed when they suddenly realize that slots at online casinos are NOT simply all about pulling the lever and hoping for the best. For players to really play efficiently and get their money’s worth at online casinos, they should note the major difference between two types of slots – progressive and non-progressive jackpot slots.
Non-progressive slots at online casinos are what would be called ‘stand-alone’ slots at a traditional casino. Simply put, these are machines that are not connected to a network and their jackpot is standard and predetermined. Progressive slots found at online casinos, however, have jackpots that progress steadily upward every time a slot game is played. Most of these progressive slots are linked to a network of other machines, which means that these jackpots have the potential to increase quite quickly.
The payout percentages for progressive slots are considerably less than non-progressive ones at online casinos. Also, to win the jackpot, players need to bet the maximum amount of coins ($3) at progressive machines. Put that way, it is clear that if players have a limited bankroll and wish to extend their game time at online casinos, they should stick to non-progressive slots. On the other hand, they should keep a portion (around a quarter) of their bankroll to try their luck at million dollar jackpots! |
