Free jackpot slots

How jackpot slots work

There are two main kinds. Fixed jackpots pay a set prize, often shown as a multiple of the stake, and are usually won through a bonus feature or a special symbol combination. Progressive jackpots grow with every real-money stake placed on the game, sometimes across many casinos, until one player wins and the pot resets to a starting amount.

Many modern games combine several jackpot levels, often called Mini, Minor, Major and Grand, which are won through a hold-and-win round or a prize wheel.

Jackpots in a free demo

In the demo, jackpot features work with virtual credits, so you can see how they trigger without any money involved. Any jackpot you land in a demo pays virtual credits only, and there are no cash prizes on Online Slots Ireland.

Jackpot slot games to try

Divine Fortune, Mega Fortune and Hall of Gods are well-known jackpot games from NetEnt. The Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza range brings jackpots to the fishing series, and families such as Jackpot Festival and Starlight Jackpots add tiered prizes.

Jackpots and volatility

On a progressive jackpot game, part of every stake goes towards the jackpot, so the regular paytable usually pays a little less. The result is often a more volatile game: long spells of small wins with a rare chance of a very large one. Check each game’s help screen for its own rules.
