Video Poker progressive jackpots
If you’re a fan of video poker games, which are among the games that online casinos consider most dangerous for them – ie., the chances of the player winning a big bundle of cash are pretty good – then it’s good to know where the big money games are, or even better, where the progressive jackpots are stashed.
One such game is the 10-line Jacks or Better video poker game that can be found at Windows Casino. It’s tied to a progressive jackpot which pays out on a single event – a Royal Flush on the base line, which is the large-sized hand of cards at the bottom of the screen.
Progressive jackpots are intentionally not easy to hit as they carry such hefty wads of cash inside, but they can’t avoid a hit forever. Currently the progressive jackpot for this video poker game is $68,642 – quite a handsome sum indeed!
Windows Casino also has MegaJacks, another progressive video poker game tied to the same jackpot. The conditions to qualify for this progressive jackpot are slightly different as it’s a single hand VP game, so you’ll need to be playing max bet at 5 coins when you spin up a Royal Flush in order to grab the jackpot too.
The odds of getting a Royal Flush when playing video poker or any regular poker game are quite low, about 650,000:1, but it does happen. It’s simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and most importantly, with the right bet.

Triple Royal Flush wins Slotland jackpot
Last week at Slotland Casino the site’s progressive jackpot was hit via the Wild Heart video poker game. A massive $104,064 jackpot turned into a huge cash windfall and became reality for the Canadian player who managed to hit a Royal Flush on all three lines in a single shot, with max bet on each line.
Wild Heart video poker game is a triple play game that uses 3 decks of cards, each with 54 cards – the last 2 cards in each pack are a Wild and a Joker. The lowest ranking hand is two pairs, 5 of a Kind ranks after the Straight Flush using a Wild or Joker to complete the hand, as does the Wild Royal Flush, with the natural Royal Flush coming top which pays 4000x, or unleashes the progressive jackpot if maximum bet is played on all lines.
The fortunate player who goes by the name of Winnipegleg said of his win:
“Believe me, I’ve often daydreamed about what I’d do if I won a jackpot. Now that it’s happened I can’t remember any of the wonderful things I wanted to do! I’ll probably donate some to a good cause and invest some of it. But I’m also going to buy a few treats for my wife and myself!”
Slotland has a small but totally unique collection of online slots and video poker games, each game linked directly to the site’s progressive jackpot which resets to start again from $50,000 after every jackpot win. The last big jackpot hit at the casino happened just over a month ago in August 2010, when an ecstatic lady known as Southbelle won almost $150,000 on the Lucky Stars slots machine, one of the oldest slot games at Slotland Casino.
