There are two variations of the most sought after prize in any online casino game. The first is the regular jackpot, which is a standalone game’s highest single payout amount and varies from game to game and from casino to casino and can range from several hundreds to many thousands of dollars. The second is the progressive jackpot which is generally much higher in value and is the result of several or even hundreds of games that are linked together with a resulting jackpot that continually grows in value as players feed money into the games until one lucky person wins it. A progressive jackpot can easily grow into the range of millions of dollars. So what makes each type of jackpot so alluring to players and ensures that they’ll keep coming back for another try day in and day out? With the progressive jackpot, the answer is quite simple. It is the lure of winning a life changing amount of money on the flip of a switch. Winning several millions of dollars can certainly change a person’s life; there is no doubt about that. The fact that it is sitting there waiting to be won by a lucky player means for the thousands that are all trying for it that the certain lucky player could be any one of them. So what is the lure of the standalone game’s much lower but equally desired jackpot when there is such a huge amount sitting on another game? Why don’t all players simply sit there and go for the big one? Well, there is a psychology of the gambler that is often not as straight forward to fathom as many would think. Of course, the lure of a multi-million dollar win is undeniable. But in many ways, so is the lure of winning several thousand dollars at a game where the odds of winning it are considerably better than those of wining the massive progressive jackpot. In short, a more experienced player will hedge his bets and go for the more potentially attainable prize than the pie in the sky, life changing progressive jackpot.
