Jackpot Games

What is the first thing you think when someone mentions slot games? If the answer is exciting gameplay or fun bonus events, that’s great. But let’s be honest, most people associate slots with hitting the jackpot and being awarded a big win. There are hundreds of online slots games you can play today, but for the very biggest wins, you need to turn your attention to jackpot games. 

By playing jackpot slots, and playing them the right way, you put yourself in with a chance of winning a prize pot that can be genuinely life-changing, and that is how jackpot games are different to other casino favourites. For sure, table games will always be the most popular. But these pay out small rewards frequently. Play blackjack, and you’ll win around as much as you lose and the payout is even money. A slots jackpot might only be paid to one player in the course of an entire week, but it could run into the millions. That’s the sort of reward you just can’t win playing cards or roulette.

How are jackpot games different to regular slots games?

So what do we mean by a jackpot game? After all, every one of the online slots games waiting for you at Mount Gold offers a jackpot.  For example, in the ever-popular Gonzo’s Quest, it is 2,500 times your wager for five grey mask symbols. 

The difference is that jackpot slots don’t have this sort of set jackpot payout. Instead, they have a progressive jackpot, one that just keeps getting bigger and bigger every time someone, anyone, plays the game. Eventually, a lucky player wins, the jackpot resets to its base amount, and the process starts again.

The idea of jackpot casino games like these originates from land-based casinos. Here, the jackpot slots are physically linked and you can see the jackpot amount on a big screen getting bigger and bigger. Now imagine the same thing in an online casino setting where the number of people playing a particular game is not limited by the number of game cabinets available. You can see how the jackpot can quickly run into seven figures. 

What jackpot slots games are available at Mount Gold? 

We are pleased to bring you a choice of jackpot games at Mount Gold Online Casino. A cross-section of the most popular ones includes the following:

• Jackpot Rango is a favourite among those who have seen the 2011 movie on which it is based. If you haven’t, the strange creature that appears on the reels might leave you a little taken aback. It’s a great jackpot slot for beginners, as it is also quite generous with the smaller rewards and has a free spins bonus game that can pay out generously. The downside is that the jackpot is not immense, seldom moving into six figures. Still, this is one you can happily play for a while without burning your bankroll searching for that big win. 

• Basic Ultimate Super Reels is one of the more traditional jackpot games in every sense of the word. It features retro-style symbols like BAR and 7, but don’t be fooled into thinking it is a basic game. It plays on either three, four or five reels, depending on how much you wager per spin. You’ll need to go the whole hog with a 15-coin maximum wager to open up the fifth reel and be in with a shot at the progressive jackpot. 

• Lucky Clover is arguably the most popular of all the jackpot slots at Mount Gold casino. Its simplicity appeals to less experienced players, while the impressive size the jackpot can reach also keeps the serious gamblers interested. If you are playing jackpot slots for the first time, this is a good place to start, as the rules are permanently up on the screen.  

These three examples are just a taster of the wide choice of jackpot slots we have waiting for you at Mount Gold Casino. Other titles include Rambo, Basic Instinct, Lucky Dragon, Mona Lisa Jewels, and more. New titles are being released all the time, and we love to get them up ahead of the rest, so monitor our new games page to catch the very latest jackpot games.

That’s a question we can’t answer, but someone has to win, so you never know! The important thing to remember is that hitting a jackpot is a bit like winning the lottery – the odds are long, and while slot games pay out regular rewards, a jackpot win is a rare event.
