How to Play Jackpot Slots in the UK

Jackpot slots are just like normal slot games, but with greatly increased prize potential. You usually trigger a jackpot in one of two ways: either completely randomly by landing jackpot symbols on any spin, or by playing a special bonus game.

You should note that jackpot slots are nearly always high-volatility games because with part of each bet set aside to fund the jackpot, there’s less available for regular payouts.

There are two types of exciting jackpot slots you can try at PlayUK:

Fixed Jackpots

The size of the jackpots remains at a predetermined size, and might be split into four jackpot categories within each game. Something like:

1. Mini = 10x the bet
2. Minor = 50x the bet
3. Major = 500x the bet
4. Mega = 5,000x the bet

Each of the jackpots is a multiplier of your bet size, so bag the Mega jackpot on a £0.20 spin and win £1,000. Here’s a good choice from the PlayUK jackpot slots collection:

Divine Fortune Black by Netent

This cool ancient Greek-themed game, a follow-up to the sublime Divine Fortune, has three fixed jackpots for you to win:

1. Mini = 25x the bet
2. Major = 250x the bet
3. Mega = 2,500x the bet

These fixed jackpots trigger randomly when you land enough of a jackpot symbol on the reels. It’s all decided by the slot’s verified random number generator software, which guarantees you and all other players have the same chance of winning on every spin.

Progressive Jackpots

Unlike fixed jackpots, progressive jackpot slots in the UK keep on rising until one lucky player wins. Then the total reverts to the seed-starting figure and begins climbing again. A small portion of every bet is set aside to fund the growing jackpots and the seed total. Here’s a good example game from our PlayUK lobby:

Age of the Gods by Playtech

Another classics-inspired slot game, where you must hope one of the Greek Gods finds in your favour, awarding one of four progressive jackpots. At the time of writing, these had reached:

1. Power = £194
2. Extra Power = £1,511
3. Super Power = £23,087
4. Ultimate Power = £182,031

If one of the jackpots is claimed, the total returns to the seed amounts of £50, £500, £5,000 or £100,000.

Because progressive jackpots tend to be much higher than fixed ones, the return to percentage (RTP) of progressive jackpot slots will be lower, since a portion of every wager goes to the jackpot fund rather than back to players via normal gameplay.

Jackpot Slots Tips and Tricks

First, you must decide whether jackpot slots are for you. Are you happy playing high volatility, lower RTP games in the hope of winning a rare jackpot, or would you prefer the lure of smaller, more regular wins that normal slots bring?

If jackpots are your thing, then consider these tips and tricks to make the most of your sessions. Just remember that winning a jackpot is random, and there is no strategy for improving your chances.

Look at the bet limits: In some jackpot slots, particularly progressive ones, there’s a higher qualifying stake. You can still play the base game with a smaller stake, but you won’t be eligible for the jackpot. Also, in games where you pick the number of lines in play, you may have to activate a set number of them to qualify.

Check the game rules: Read the slot’s info page to find out how you trigger the jackpots. It might be random during the base game, by landing a set number of jackpot symbols, or it could be triggered as part of a bonus game mechanic.

Don’t get carried away: Jackpots are won rarely. Remember this as you play so that you don’t keep spinning the reels more than you should. If you want more frequent payouts, opt for slot games without jackpots.

Compare jackpot prizes: The chances of winning a slot’s progressive jackpot remain the same whether the prize has just been won or if the total has become huge. But you might prefer to take the risk when the totals are high, since the same risk (your bet size) can bring a bigger reward.

Look for must-drop thresholds: Some networked jackpot slots have a must-win ceiling, meaning the game is guaranteed to pay out before the total reaches a certain level. This brings a little more certainty and drives added excitement if the jackpot threshold nears.
