Progressive jackpot casino games are games that offer some of the biggest wins around. These jackpots can become huge simply because the more players that join, the bigger the jackpot gets. This is because a tiny percentage of the bet placed by the player is added to the jackpot every time.

There are two types of progressive jackpots – localised and global. Localised progressives are linked between games in the same online casino or company, and although they can get large in size, they don’t quite meet the sheer heights of global progressives. The latter type is actually linked to online casinos around the world and can get added to by thousands of players, which is why they grow so huge.

When it comes to progressive jackpot slots, there are some that just stand out above the rest. The reason for this is simply that these jackpots are some of the biggest, most exciting ones out there. Undoubtedly top of the list is Microgaming’s African animal themed Mega Moolah. This progressive has the distinction of paying out the most ever seen in an online jackpot with a whopping £13.2 million being awarded to a UK players. Better yet, the slot has paid out multi-millions on more than one occasion. NetEnt has a pair of top slots in the form of Mega Fortune and Mega Fortune Dreams. Both of these games rival Mega Moolah in terms of how much they pay out and both also offer multi-million wins. Both these games also amplify that feeling of richness, by offering a strongly opulent and luxurious theme throughout the game complete with symbols depicting expensive items. Other top games include Hall of Gods, Joker Millions and Divine Fortune, each of which offer different themes, fun in-game bonuses and, of course, big wins.
