The Jackpot is the ultimate prize, the dream ticket. There are two main flavours:
1. Fixed Jackpot: A static top prize, often called a "Grand" or "Mega" prize in hold-and-win style bonuses. Its value is fixed relative to your stake.
2. Progressive Jackpot: The big one. This is a prize pool linked across a network of casinos. A small slice of every bet from every player feeds the pot, allowing it to grow to life-changing, multi-million-pound sums until one lucky punter scoops the lot. It is the lottery-style win of the slot world.

FAQs
Do I have to bet max to win a progressive?<br>In older slots, this was often the case. In modern progressives, you are typically eligible to win at any stake, but a higher stake often gives you a proportionally higher chance of triggering the jackpot bonus game.
