Playtech offers a unique format of progressive jackpot games at its online casinos. The games can be played with different coin denominations. Therefore each variant of the game has a different progressive jackpot commensurate with the coin denomination used. This enables players with different sized bankrolls to vie for a chance to win the progressive jackpot. These games include online slots as well as fixed odds games. Some of the popular titles are Baccarat, Genie’s Hi Lo, Jackpot Darts, Magic Slots and Safecracker. This article reviews the Playtech Safecracker progressive jackpot slot game, explaining how the different progressive jackpots work within the same online slot.

Safecracker is a 3-reel and single payline slot game. Players can wager with up to three coins. There are four coin denominations available, which are 25c, 50c, $1 and $5. The slot game has a bank robbery theme and therefore symbols like safe, crowbar, drill and dynamite are used. The key is the bonus symbol. The cash is the most important symbol in the Playtech Safecracker slot game. It pays out even when one or two symbols appear on the payline. The jackpot payout results when three cash symbols appear on the payline.

The Safecracker bonus game can be accessed by collecting three key symbols on the payline in the same spin. The bonus game is played on the second screen in which 10 safes are displayed. Three of them are alarmed and end the bonus round if selected. Seven safes can be opened and contain a bonus prize within. Players have to keep clicking on the safes one after another, and claiming the prizes until they hit an alarmed one. The bonus game is finished then, and players return to main Safecracker reels.

The progressive jackpot in Safecracker is built up by all the Playtech online casinos that offer the slot game. 3% of each bet is added to the jackpot pool. The amount can be seen to increase immediately on the screen. When a player hits the jackpot combination, he wins the entire jackpot amount. After the progressive jackpot has been hit, the amount is reset to the seed level. This ensures that even if a player hits the jackpot seconds after it has been hit by someone else, he will still get a large win. The reset value for the Playtech Safecracker progressive jackpot is 6,000 coins.

The progressive jackpots for the different coin denominations run independently. When the player selects a coin denomination, the corresponding current jackpot amount is displayed on the screen. The reset values in credits are also different for each of the progressive jackpots. When the coin size is selected as 0.25c the reset value becomes $1,500. Historically this jackpot has paid out an average amount of $3,500 per hit and it hits once a month on an average. The reset value of the progressive jackpot for the 0.50c coin denomination is $3,000. This jackpot has paid out an average amount of $7,000 per hit and it hits once a month on an average. The reset value of the progressive jackpot for the $1 coin denomination is $6,000. This jackpot has paid out an average amount of $15,000 per hit and it hits once a month on an average. The reset value of the progressive jackpot for the $5 coin denomination is $30,000. This jackpot has paid out an average amount of $70,000 per hit and it hits once every 10 days on an average.
