Hi, yy8888. You may want to google "slots progressive Jackpot" to read up on these. In essence, it is a pooled prize money set to payout on a random machine at some point in time. Some JP are capped at eg $500 whereas some others are not cap. For the capped JP, punters will try to maximise the chance of winning by playing only when the prize has reached close to the cap. For the uncap JP, there is no way to guess when it will drop except some people try to use past statistics to estimate. If you follow some of our older thread discussion, the lao jiao here will advocate not to chase JP.
Cheers.
Thanks for replying, but I know what progressive Jackpots are. What I am curious is what happens when the Jackpot hits the capped amount. Does it stay there or does it pay out when the counter hit that number? Or if it does stay there, are the odds of hitting it different? Because if there is no extra special chance of winning when it is close or at the capped amount, why bother hogging multiple machines to win it? In the end, the amount you feed into the machine may not be enough to cover the potential payout of the Jackpot.
