No matter which you choose to play, you\u2019ll be in with a shot at a potentially life-changing win.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Does Jackpot King Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be wondering how exactly a Jackpot King jackpot works, if there are lots of different games all featuring the same jackpots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, <\/span><b>Jackpot King is what\u2019s known as a \u2018networked\u2019 jackpot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; meaning that the pots are shared across all Jackpot King games, and across all casinos featuring those games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its jackpots are also progressive, in that they increase over time, with a portion of all money staked on any Jackpot King game contributing to the jackpots available to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Any spin on any of these games can trigger the Jackpot King feature<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; and there\u2019s no minimum stake required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you land five crown symbols, one on each reel, you\u2019ll get the chance to play the first Jackpot King mini game. This takes place on its own dedicated playgrid, where you collect crown symbols to move up a prize ladder of cash values, with the \u2018Wheel King\u2019 feature at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re lucky enough to activate the Wheel King feature, you open a bonus wheel, which offers cash prizes, as well as the three jackpots: Royal, Regal and Jackpot King.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of the three jackpots are won, the value is reset to its seed value and the process of building it up begins again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where Can I Find Jackpot King Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>You\u2019ll find Jackpot King slots available with the majority of bookies and casinos<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To locate Jackpot King slots, navigate to the casino section, and then look for \u2018Jackpot King\u2019 as a category, either on its own or within the Slots section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are quite a lot of Jackpot King games out there, but not all of them will be featured on every single casino\u2019s site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, you\u2019re likely to encounter a good range, as many of the most popular slots games out there have one or more Jackpot King versions available, including Fishin\u2019 Frenzy, Eye of Horus and King Kong Cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Can I Win On Jackpot King?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That all depends on when you happen to play!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Jackpot King games feature progressive jackpots, the amounts will increase over time, as people fund them through playing the games, until they\u2019re eventually won.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three different jackpots of different sizes available to win, each of which has a different starting seed value:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Royal Pot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; the smallest pot, with a seed value of \u00a3500. The average win is \u00a32370.63, at the time of writing, and the jackpot must be paid out before it reaches \u00a33500 &#8211; meaning that the chances of a win increase as the pot grows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Regal Pot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; larger than the Royal Pot, but smaller than Jackpot King, with a seed value of \u00a35000. The average win is \u00a322,194.03 (again, at the time of writing), and the pot must be paid out before it reaches \u00a335,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Jackpot King <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; the grand prize. There\u2019s no maximum prize, meaning it can theoretically rise indefinitely. The biggest ever win was in April 2021, when a player won \u20ac8.1 million! This is funded by a seed of 0.11% of stakes since the jackpot was last won.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s My Chance Of Winning On Jackpot King?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pretty minimal, sadly. The chances of winning the biggest jackpot are millions to one against you &#8211; which shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise, when the jackpots often stand at 7 figures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admittedly, the chance of winning does increase marginally the higher a jackpot becomes, and the longer it\u2019s been since someone last won &#8211; but this definitely doesn\u2019t mean you should stake all your hopes on a big win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you simply play a Jackpot King slot, without any sort of casino bonus or free spins, the most likely outcome is that you will end up losing money<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Are The Best Jackpot King Slots?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That all depends on what you like to see in a slots game! You might enjoy flashy bonuses and innovative mechanics, or you might prefer a relatively straightforward slots game, just with the added excitement of a potential jackpot win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to straightforward value for money, <\/span><b>you should look for the Jackpot King game with the highest <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/what-does-return-to-player-rtp-mean\/\"><b>RTP<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything above 95% is fairly good going for a Jackpot King slot &#8211; so games like Eye of Horus Jackpot King at 95.64% or Fishin\u2019 Frenzy Even Bigger Catch JPK at 95.49% are good options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you can generally find slots games with higher RTPs if they don\u2019t have a jackpot mechanism &#8211; so unless you\u2019re specifically in search of a Jackpot King slot, you\u2019re likely to be better off looking elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Can I Combine Jackpot King With Casino Matched Betting?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can &#8211; but we wouldn\u2019t recommend it if you can avoid it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casino Matched Betting relies on putting yourself in a position to gain a statistical advantage over the casino, where the free spins or bonuses you\u2019ve received result in a positive expected value from the offer you\u2019re completing (for a full explanation of how this works, check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/matched-betting\/casino-matched-betting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guide to casino Matched Betting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/positive-expected-value-betting-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maximise the expected value of an offer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your most profitable strategy is to play through any wagering and your free spins on a slots game with the highest possible <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/what-does-return-to-player-rtp-mean\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RTP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (return to player).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The problem with Jackpot King slots is that a portion of the RTP is used to fund the jackpots themselves<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s take a look at King Kong Cash Go Bananas Jackpot King. It has an advertised RTP of 95.49% which, while some way from the best available, is fairly respectable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when you check the fine print, 0.38% of that, plus a 0.11% reserve (which funds the seed value of the jackpot), is going into funding the jackpot &#8211; meaning that, unless you happen to win a jackpot, the effective RTP is actually only 95%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That may not seem like a huge difference, but given the minimal chances of winning a jackpot, you\u2019re far better off sticking to slots without jackpots instead of having a percentage of your stake dedicated to funding a jackpot you\u2019re never realistically going to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, sometimes the only eligible slot will be a Jackpot King slot &#8211; and if so, you can use our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/matched-betting\/calculators\/expected-value-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expected Value Calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to check if an offer\u2019s worth doing nonetheless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you get the choice, we\u2019d always recommend avoiding jackpot-related slots in favour of those with a high RTP, none of which is dedicated to funding jackpots.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Other Ways To Make Money From Online Betting Sites<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s possible to make solid ongoing profits from Casino Matched Betting (even if we don\u2019t recommend using Jackpot King slots), and lots of our members do exactly that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/matched-betting\/pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oddsmonkey\u2019s All Access membership<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> package grants you access to <\/span><b>over 100 casino sign up offers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, plus lots of regular reload offers, giving you the chance to make ongoing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/matched-betting\/casino-matched-betting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">profits from casino offers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s important to remember that there is a risk with casino.
