Typically
only players that play the maximum
credits for every play will qualify for
winning the progressive jackpot. All
players playing on a machine attached to
the progressive jackpot will contribute
to the jackpot. That is why a game that
only requires 8 credits to qualify for
the progressive jackpot will most likely
have the progressive jackpot rise to
higher levels, in relation to its
break-even level, than a game that
requires only 4 credits per play to
qualify for the progressive jackpot. For
example, many players who find
themselves playing three credits per
play might reason that five credits per
play is not much more than three, so why
not play five and qualify for the
largest jackpot payoff, the
progressive jackpot. ON the other hand
the difference is much bigger between 4
and 10, credits for every play, so at a
progressive jackpots game that requires
10 credits for each play in order to be
qualified, it seems that more players
will stick with 4 credits for each play
made, and add to the progressive
jackpots
without getting a chance at winning it.
