Mega Moolah, WowPot, and multi-million-dollar prizes at AGCO-licensed casinos
Progressive jackpot slots offer prize pools that grow until someone wins — often reaching millions of dollars. Several Ontario casinos feature these games, including the world-famous Mega Moolah slot with its guaranteed $1 million minimum jackpot.
A progressive jackpot is a prize pool that increases every time someone plays the game without winning the top prize. A small percentage of each bet contributes to the jackpot, allowing it to grow continuously until a player hits the winning combination.
Single machine or single online slot game. Jackpot grows only from bets on that specific game. Smaller prizes (typically thousands to tens of thousands), but better odds of winning.
Jackpot shared across multiple games or casinos within one operator's network. Medium-sized prizes (hundreds of thousands possible), moderate odds.
Shared across multiple casinos and operators worldwide. Produces the largest jackpots (millions to tens of millions), but lowest odds of winning. Mega Moolah and WowPot are examples.

The world's most famous progressive jackpot slot, Mega Moolah has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars since its 2006 launch. The game features a safari theme and holds the Guinness World Record for the largest online slot machine payout.
Ontario Note: Mega Moolah availability in Ontario depends on AGCO licensing approval. Check individual casino game libraries for current availability. The game may be offered under different variants or titles in Ontario.
Launched in 2020 as Microgaming's second major progressive network, WowPot features a minimum $2 million jackpot. Multiple game variants feed into the same jackpot pool, creating massive prize potential.
Ontario Note: WowPot game availability varies by casino and depends on Ontario regulatory approval.
When someone wins the jackpot, it resets to a "seed" amount (minimum starting value). For Mega Moolah, this is $1 million.
A percentage of every bet (typically 2-5%) contributes to the progressive jackpot pool. The more people play, the faster it grows.
Wide-area progressives pool contributions from hundreds or thousands of players across multiple casinos worldwide, creating massive prize pools.
Most major progressives trigger randomly (not based on hitting specific symbols). Playing at max bet may increase your chances, but jackpots can be won on any bet size.
Progressive jackpot slots typically have lower base game RTPs (Return to Player) than standard slots because a portion of your bets funds the jackpot. You're trading frequent small wins for a chance at a massive prize.
Progressive jackpots are entertainment with lottery-like odds. Set a strict budget for jackpot chasing and don't expect to win. The vast majority of players never hit the top prize.
Some progressive jackpots are only available at maximum bet. Others can be won at any bet level. Read the game rules before playing to know if max bet is required.
Progressive jackpots become more attractive when the prize is significantly above the seed amount. A $5 million Mega Moolah jackpot offers better theoretical value than a freshly reset $1 million prize.
Major progressive jackpot odds are similar to lottery odds — millions to one against. The average player will never win a million-dollar jackpot. These games are designed for entertainment value, not as a winning strategy.
Example: If you spend $100 chasing Mega Moolah, your statistical probability of winning is essentially zero. You're paying for the excitement and dream, not a realistic path to wealth.
Ontario players have won progressive jackpots at licensed casinos, though specific win data depends on operator disclosure policies. AGCO-licensed casinos must pay out all legitimate wins, including progressive jackpots.
Large progressive jackpot wins are paid out, though payment structure (lump sum vs installments) may vary by casino and jackpot amount.

Progressive jackpots are exciting, but the odds of winning substantial prizes are extremely low — similar to lottery odds. Don't chase jackpots as an income strategy. Only play with money you can afford to lose completely.
