Always Bet the Max at Progressives and Bonus Multipliers

8:03 PM


In order to be eligible for the large progressive jackpot, a player will be required to bet the maximum amount on all the paylines at once. Please do not confuse this with the "Bet One" button many online slots include with their machines. This button is simply a way of betting a single wager over (usually up to five times) on a single spin. The progressive jackpot, however, does not require multiple bets, but does require the maximum wager amount to be bet on each payline for a single spin. The same holds true for bonus multipliers, which are options on straight slots that pay bonuses when particular reel combos are hit. These bonuses are usually generous, and if offered, should be played for every time. The maximum wager on all paylines must be bet for the multiplier to be activated. If one of these is hit, all prior losses will generally be recovered - with some profit left remaining. Remember, when determining your gambling expectations, if you are going for large winnings, always bet the maximum on progressives and multipliers.
