A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that is constantly increasing (progressing) with every game played and can usually be found attached to a slot machine or video poker game but are also frequently used to offer bigger jackpots for bingo games.
Progressive games are ”˜connected’ so that every bet placed adds to the progressive jackpot and as multiple players are contributing it grows quickly and the ”˜house’ may also contribute some of their profit from the game to further increase the total. The jackpot progresses until someone wins it, at which point it is reset at it’s minimum, which is still usually quite a significant sum. The progressive jackpot can only be won by a winning combination with the highest payout, such as a royal flush in poker, the top symbols in a slot or a full house under a given number of balls. In addition plays are elligable for the progressive if they have placed the maximum bet for that game.
The value of the progressive is shown on the jackpot meter so you know what you’re playing for and in some games it is possible to predict at what stage or value the progressive jackpot might be won at. It is worth watching at what level jackpots are won to see what it’s ”˜break-even point’ may be and that’s possibly the best time to place your max bets and play for the progressive.
There are lots of progressive bingo games in both 90 and 75 ball bingo, plus there are now Bingo Linx games which work on in a similar style to a progressive to create a huge jackpot.
Most of the lucky online millionaire winners have won on these progressive games, a couple of the most famous are detailed below.
Major Millions

Here are now two versions of Major Millions, there is the original 3 reel and 3 pay-line version requiring a $1 coin size, and now a 5 reel video slot game, which is a 5 coin, 15 pay-line version with a coin size of 20cents.

Like the standard win, you win the Progressive Jackpot when 5 or 3 Major Millions symbols line up on the 3rd or 15th pay-line, provided of course you have been making the maximum bets. Major Millions has a scatter symbol and a wild, multiplier symbol; all are activated when you make maximum bets.
