Short answer: A progressive jackpot is a prize pool that can grow as qualifying wagers contribute to it. The contribution rate, trigger, eligibility, and prize rules depend on the specific game.
How a pool may grow
In some games, a defined portion of qualifying wagers contributes to a shared or linked prize pool. The displayed amount may increase until a qualifying event resets or changes it. The mechanics are game-specific; an advertised figure alone does not explain how the prize is triggered.
Read eligibility and trigger rules
Check which game version and bet level qualify, whether a side bet is required, what events can trigger the prize, and how ties or shared wins are handled. Confirm whether the displayed amount is fixed, shared among winners, or subject to other terms.
Do not confuse size with probability
A large displayed jackpot does not tell you the probability of winning it, and a previous win does not make another one due. Avoid increasing stakes based on the current pool. Verify the official game rules and treat all outcomes as uncertain.
