Frequently Asked Questions About Progressive Jackpots
Curious about how progressive jackpots work? Here are answers to the questions players often ask before spinning for a chance at the big prize.
What does progressive jackpot mean?
A progressive jackpot is a casino prize pool that grows each time someone plays the game but doesn’t win the top reward. A portion of every wager feeds into the jackpot, making it larger until a lucky player lands it.

Simply log in to your Thunderbolt Casino account and choose Opt in from the casino lobby. For step-by-step guidance, you can visit the Thunderbolt Help Page.
How to hit a progressive jackpot?
There’s no guaranteed way to hit a progressive jackpot since slot games are based on chance. However, you can increase your chances of qualifying by betting the required amount and playing consistently. Always check the game rules to see if a max bet is needed to unlock the jackpot.
Are progressive jackpots worth it?
Yes, if you enjoy the excitement of chasing a life-changing payout, progressive jackpots are worth playing. The top prizes are much bigger than standard slots. Just remember to play for entertainment and keep to your budget.
What are the odds of winning a progressive jackpot?
The odds of winning vary depending on the game and its mechanics. Since progressive jackpots build up across many spins and players, the odds are lower than hitting smaller slot prizes. But the potential payout is significantly higher.
How do you trigger a progressive jackpot?
Each game has its own rules. Some jackpots trigger randomly on any spin, while others require special combinations or bonus rounds. Always review the slot’s paytable to understand how the progressive jackpot can be won.
How to win progressive jackpots on slot machines?
You win a progressive jackpot by landing the required symbol combination or triggering a special feature, depending on the game. Some jackpots can also drop randomly. To stay eligible, make sure you meet the bet requirements.
Are progressive jackpot slots worth playing?
Yes, they’re popular because of their potential to deliver massive wins that fixed jackpots can’t match. They’re best for players who enjoy the idea of chasing big payouts while still having fun with the base game.
How can you tell a progressive slot machine?
All slots at Thunderbolt contribute to the Lobby Jackpot. Games with their own progressive prizes can be found in the Progressive Jackpot category in the lobby.
