progressive jackpot

Accumulating slot winnings

A progressive jackpot is a prize pool that grows each time the game is played without a winner.

A small percentage of each bet feeds the jackpot until someone hits the winning combination: The progressive jackpot on that slot machine is up to two million dollars.

Common in slot machines, poker, and lottery games, progressive jackpots can reach enormous sums precisely because they're difficult to win.
