Jackpot casino games are a category of online games where the potential prizes are larger than standard titles. These games work in much the same way as regular slots, but they include jackpot features that can increase the possible payout. Some jackpots are fixed, while others are progressive, meaning the value grows over time as more players contribute to the prize pool.

At 7bet, jackpot games are available across a wide range of formats. You’ll find them in the slots section, as part of live casino streams, and within the wider casino catalogue. Whether you’re looking at themed slot titles, or modern jackpot mechanics built into new releases, we have plenty of jackpot options available.

What Are Jackpot Casino Games?

A jackpot is the top prize available in a game. In a standard slot, this might be the highest payout combination on the reels. In a jackpot slot, the top prize is usually a dedicated jackpot that sits above the normal win table.

There are two main types:

  • Fixed Jackpot: A set amount that does not change between spins.
  • Progressive Jackpot: A prize pool that increases as players across the network place stakes.

Some progressive jackpots are local, connected only to a single operator. Others are wide-area jackpots, connected across multiple casinos, with values that can reach into the millions.

How Jackpot Slots Work

Jackpot slots look and feel similar to regular online slots. They feature reels, paylines, and symbols. The difference is the presence of a jackpot meter. This can be won in different ways, depending on the game design.

  • Symbol Trigger: Certain games award the jackpot if you land a specific combination, such as five jackpot symbols on a line.
  • Bonus Round Trigger: A mini-game, such as a wheel spin, may determine whether the jackpot is awarded.
  • Random Trigger: Progressive jackpots are sometimes awarded randomly, regardless of the symbols displayed.

Because these mechanics vary, reading the game rules is essential before placing a stake.

Popular Themes in Jackpot Games

Jackpot casino games cover a wide range of themes, much like regular slots. Popular categories include:

  • Classic fruit machine designs with cherries, bells, and bars.
  • Adventure and treasure hunts, often linked to jackpot prizes.
  • Fantasy and mythology, with jackpots tied to bonus rounds.
  • Fishing-themed slots, such as the Big Bass series, which combine bonus features with jackpot-style mechanics in some variations.

Themes make no difference to the underlying jackpot mechanics, but they help tailor the game to different preferences.

Live Casino Jackpot Games

Jackpot features are not restricted to slots. In live casino games, certain games also include progressive jackpot mechanics. These often appear in:


Live casino jackpots function differently from slots, but the principle is the same: a prize pool grows or remains fixed, and players have the chance to qualify depending on the rules.

Why Players Choose Jackpot Casino Games

While standard slots and table games have set payout structures, jackpot games add an additional prize tier. This is appealing to players who want a different type of gameplay mechanic.

Reasons jackpot casino games stand out include:

  • A visible prize meter that builds anticipation.
  • Progressive networks that connect multiple players.
  • Extra features layered on top of standard slot play.

These features do not guarantee larger wins, but they create a different experience compared to standard online casino games.

RTP and Volatility in Jackpot Games

Every casino game has a Return to Player (RTP) rate and a volatility level. Jackpot games are no different.

  • RTP: Progressive jackpots often have a slightly lower RTP than regular slots because a portion of every stake contributes to the prize pool.
  • Volatility: Jackpot slots are usually high volatility, meaning payouts may be less frequent, but individual wins can be larger.

It is always worth checking the paytable and rules of each game to understand how RTP and volatility may affect your session.

Jackpot Games in Online Casinos

In modern online casinos, jackpots are integrated across both slots and live products. Some games have multiple jackpots, often called:

  • Mini, Minor, Major, Grand – tiered jackpot systems that offer several prize levels.
  • Daily jackpots – fixed pools that must drop within a set time period.
  • Community jackpots – prizes that are shared across players when triggered.

Examples of Jackpot Casino Games

While specific titles vary, here are some examples of how jackpots appear in practice:

  • Classic progressive slots: Games with long-running jackpot networks.
  • Branded slots: Titles tied to movies, bands, or shows often include jackpots.
  • Modern video slots: These types of Games highlight how developers add bonus rounds and prize mechanics.
  • Table-side bets: Progressive blackjack and roulette where jackpots are won through specific combinations.

These examples show the variety of jackpot casino games available across formats.
