The size of online slot machine jackpots has been steadily growing over the last few years. I read a story recently about a guy that bet ?2.50 on the Mega Fortune slot game and won an amazing €3.1 million. Just a few weeks earlier another slots player won a record breaking €17.8 million playing the exact same slot machine at a different online casino. You might be wondering how a progressive jackpot could already exceed €3 million after someone hit it for €17.8 million just a few weeks earlier. In this post I will explain how slot game jackpots work, how they grow so quickly and provide a list of some of the big slot jackpots hit in 2013.
I will also include some tips for hitting jackpots at the bottom of this post. I personally prefer going after mid-sized jackpots. On this slot game the jackpot is not quite as large as Mega Fortune's but it would be a life changing event and the odds of hitting it are much greater.
How Online Slot Machine Jackpots Work
Even the largest online casinos cannot generate slot jackpots like the ones listed above. It would take a single casino a very long time for a slot game to reach the million € mark. Online casinos are able to do so because they connect with other casinos that utilize the same software.
The actual casino companies are not related but because they use a certain platform - like Microgaming - they are able to 
take advantage of the slots action at a network or dozens or hundreds of other casinos. With players from many other casinos contributing to these slots jackpots they are able to grow very quickly. This also means that they get hit more often but in the end it benefits players a lot.
Largest Online Slot Machine Wins In 2013
We are only in February of 2013 but there have already been some large slots jackpot hits. The largest that I know of is the €17.8 million win on the Mega Fortune slot game. This is the largest online slots jackpot win in history and it happened in January, 2013.
Fast forward less than 30 days and another player won €3.1 million on the exact same game.
Tips On Hitting Slot Machine Jackpots
The trick to giving yourself the best odds of winning a progressive jackpot on an online slot machine is betting the maximum. This doesn't mean that you have to bet a lot of money, you just want to bet the maximum number of credits per line. Online casinos allow you to change the value of a credit.
Modern online slot games tend to have many, many lines. Some even have hundreds of them so betting €1 per line is simply out of the question for the vast majority of slots players. Most casinos allow you to change the value of a credit to €.01.
This is the ideal setting for most progressive slot games because it will still cost €1-3 to bet the max.
By betting the max on a slot game you will qualify for the progressive jackpot. Slot games differ so much so it is hard to explain. If you have ever played video poker you will likely have noticed that you need to bet five credits to qualify for the Royal Flush jackpot, which is usually much larger than what it would be if you only bet four credits.
