Progressive Roulette

Progressive roulette is a term than can refer to one of two things – a progressive roulette system that involves betting stakes of increasing value in order to try and make an overall profit, or an online roulette game that offers players the chance of winning a progressive jackpot.

We have already discussed several progressive roulette systems in previous articles (see Martingale System and Roulette Strategies) so in this article we will focus on looking at roulette games that offer progressive jackpots.

For those of you who are new to playing at online casinos, progressive jackpots are special prizes that increase in value until the eventual winner scoops the whole lot. Different games have progressive jackpots that start at different levels, but it is possible for a progressive jackpot to be worth five, six or even seven figures, so although the chances of you winning a jackpot outright are fairly slim, you will be handsomely rewarded if you do get lucky.

In a regular game of online roulette the biggest payout you can hope for is 35 times your bet, and that would be achieved by selecting a single number that wins. In progressive roulette you can still make the usual range of roulette bets, but you can also give yourself an additional chance of winning a progressive jackpot if you get lucky enough to meet certain criteria.

The criteria required for winning a progressive roulette jackpot varies according to the type of progressive roulette game you are playing. For example, if you play Roulette Royale (available at 32Red Casino) the same number needs to come up five times in a row for the jackpot to be paid out. The odds of this happening are slim, but in this game consolation prizes are paid if you get the same number two, three or four times in a row, so there is plenty to play for.

Most progressive roulette games require you to place a side bet in addition to your regular bet to qualify for the jackpot payout, so whether or not you do this depends on whether or not you want to win the progressive jackpot (or any of the consolation prizes on offer) if you get lucky enough to meet the winning criteria.

Although roulette purists might balk at the notion of winning a progressive jackpot, the majority of online roulette players love the idea, and for that reason games like Roulette Royale are incredibly popular. If you fancy giving yourself the chance of winning a life-changing sum of money when playing roulette, progressive roulette games are well worth taking a look at.
