Types of Bingo Jackpots

Seasoned online bingo players will already be well practised in all the different types of jackpots, but just in case you’re a little bingo newbie, we have detailed all the possible jackpots that you may encounter when you start embarking on your quest to big riches! So grab yourself a generous bingo bonus, and get playing for these bingo jackpots…

  • One of the most popular online bingo jackpots you will come across is the progressive jackpot.  These are offered in all bingo rooms – from 75 to 90 to 5 lines Swedish Bingo – and the reason it’s so popular is that the jackpots can meet and well exceed the likes of £1,000,000!  The jackpot usually has a starting point and literally just grows and grows until one lucky player bags the whole lot!  At this point, the jackpot begins afresh at the starting point and the whole wonderful affair begins again.  The most typical way to bag a progressive is if a player calls bingo in a predetermined number of calls.
  • Guaranteed Jackpots are also extremely popular and as the name would suggest, the jackpot being offered is the GUARANTEED amount that must be won no matter how many calls it takes to win the game.  If a site offers a guaranteed jackpot of £1,000, the winner will receive £1,000 as opposed to the prize pool being split.
  • Coverall jackpots are the least advertised jackpots and have a sliding prize scale.  Say a coverall jackpot begins at something huge like £1,000,000, this prize pool reduces as the number of calls increases.
  • A basic bingo jackpot varies and is usually offered sporadically throughout the day with little emphasis placed on them.  These can be won for as little as a penny or even free and will take place at any giving moment throughout the bingo rooms.
