How do progressive jackpots work?

Progressive jackpots are among the most popular mechanics in casino games, especially in the Gridders universe at Casino1. But what exactly are they? And in which games can you find them? This guide explains everything in a simple, straightforward way.

What’s a progressive jackpot?

A progressive jackpot is a large prize that increases as players place stakes on one or more linked games. Every stake helps grow the total. It keeps rising until someone wins it, then it resets to its base value.
This system creates a variable jackpot, sometimes very high, but always driven by chance. There’s no action or strategy that can influence the probability of winning it. It’s simply one game mechanic among others, designed to add suspense while still fitting within responsible gaming rules.

Progressive jackpot vs fixed jackpot: what’s the difference?

Fixed jackpot: the amount is always the same (for example € 500). It doesn’t change, no matter how many players take part.
Progressive jackpot: the amount increases in real time. It might start at a few hundred euros and climb much higher.

Some progressive jackpots are exclusive to a single game or platform, while others are shared across several casinos or multiple games from the same provider.

What you should know before playing

A progressive jackpot can be triggered randomly or according to specific conditions. This depends on the game. It’s also important to note that some jackpots only appear if you stake the required minimum amount. The condition is always shown on the game page.
