Big wins are the highlight of any pokie game, and if you’re on the hunt for the maximum possible win, progressive pokies are the way to go. These are the kind of pokies that come with a constantly increasing prize that a lucky player will eventually win. The more players wager on the online pokie game, the more the prize grows, and Aussies love them!

A progressive jackpot may be attached to just one pokie or a couple of pokies from the same developer across multiple casinos. The gaming developer or casino(s) will usually place a base amount at the beginning of the jackpot, and afterward, a small percentage is deducted from the bets placed by punters to feed into the growing jackpot payout.

This, however, doesn’t mean that progressive jackpot pokies pay less than other pokies when it comes to regular gameplay payouts. Like any other pokies, the regular payouts will vary depending on the progressive pokie machine’s RTP, volatility, and hit frequency. A jackpot meter displayed at the top or side of the game area displays the current value of the jackpot. The progressive jackpot is awarded randomly but in a lot of pokie machines; placing maximum wagers per spin gives you better chances at the prize, which, if you get lucky, may be valued at millions of AUD.
