Large Fixed Jackpot Slots by Software Providers

Online slot games are divided into progressive jackpots and fixed jackpots. In progressive jackpot slots the top payout keeps on increasing with every wager till it is hit and then resets to a base level. In fixed jackpot slots all payouts are always constant. The largest of the fixed payouts is referred to as the fixed jackpot. It is usually, though not necessarily, given for aligning five wild symbols in an enabled payline. Usually the fixed jackpot payouts range between 5,000 and 10,000 coins. But there are online gaming software providers who have created volatile slot games with fixed jackpots worth 40,000 coins and more. The fixed jackpots can be obtained from the payout table. Large fixed jackpot slots are suited for risk taking players.

Realtime Gaming, Playtech, Cryptologic and Microgaming are software providers with some of their most volatile slot games having fixed jackpots of around 40,000 coins. In fact, Realtime Gaming has just entered this league with a recent release called Ocean Dreams that offers a fixed jackpot payout of 40,000 coins. This is a conditional payout and not available in the main game. It is on offer only in the free spins feature when five Golden Orca wild symbols align in an enabled payline. The normal spins the fixed jackpot is only 10,000 coins, which is awarded when five Orca symbols appear in an enabled payline. If one of these symbols is a Golden Orca symbol then the fixed jackpot is doubled to 20,000 coins. Ocean Dreams is an example of a slot game that jacks up the fixed jackpot under certain conditions while offering a lower payout most of the time.

Playtech offers a slot game called Millionaire's Lane that is based on the lifestyle of the super rich with all the trappings of wealth. A hostess holding stacks of cash is the wild symbol and offers a fixed jackpot of 50,000 coins. One of the advantages of Millionaire's Lane is that it also offers a progressive jackpot. Normally progressive jackpot slots tend to have smaller fixed jackpots. But in Millionaire's Lane the progressive jackpot is not won through the slot game but through the Dollar Ball bingo like game for which an independent bet is required and which is played simultaneously but independently.

Cryptologic has a slot game with the popular ancient Egypt theme called The Treasure of Isis. The Scarab offers a fixed jackpot of 40,000 coins. Usually when the fixed jackpot is large the other payouts are not so attractive in order to compensate. However, in The Treasure of Isis the second highest payout is 15,000 coins, which is much more than the fixed jackpot in most slot games. The third highest payout is 7,500 coins and then there are two symbols that pay out 2,500 coins each.

Cashville from Microgaming is where four billionaires reside. It is not surprising to find that large fixed jackpot slots are centered around the theme of wealth in some way. Cashville offers a fixed jackpot of 50,000 coins for the Wild Logo. These payouts are per coin wagered and since Microgaming slots usually allow players to wager up to 10 coins that absolute payouts would be more. With 10 coins per line the jackpot payout is 500,000 coins and at maximum coin size of $0.20 the maximum cash payout is $100,000.
