Progressive Jackpot Bingo

Progressive jackpot games are basically games where large prizes can be won. The longer a jackpot sits waiting for a winner the larger it gets.

The way this works is by the following process: As people buy into the game, a percentage of that money will go towards the jackpot. Therefore the longer it sits there the higher it gets.

The jackpot games are pretty much the same as regular 90 ball games, you still win regular prize money for getting one line, two lines and then the full house. The jackpot is just merely something on the side to encourage people to play and obviously a jackpot win will change the life of anyone that wins.

The reason why I say it will change someone's life is because the jackpot isn't pocket change, they are quiet often tens of thousands of pounds.

So how do you win the jackpot?

Winning a progressive jackpot is very simple, you need to get a full house within a set amount of balls. For example, at the time of writing this page the best jackpot over at JackpotJoy is £14,622 and to win it you need to get a full house within the first 38 balls.

To break things down to a very simple level, a 90 ball bingo card has 15 numbers so to win you will need to get all 15 numbers within the first 38 balls.

This may sound fairly easy but it isn't and this is why they can go quiet a while without being won and why the prizes get so high in the first place.

Another thing that you normally find with jackpot games is that the price of the cards is relatively high in comparison to regular games. They cost around 50p and can be as high as £1 each where as regular games can be played for as little as 1p.

The hike in price is understandable however because if the card prices where low, it would take forever for the jackpot to build up and somebody would win before it became a large amount anyway.

Where to play jackpot games?

Well most of the major sites have a few jackpot games running at any given time, but I believe that the best site for jackpots is the appropriately named JackpotJoy.

They always have numerous high jackpots to be won and to sweeten the deal, they have one of the best welcome bonuses I've seen which is 200% and they will give you as much as £200 which is very generous.
