Realtime Gaming utilizes a four-tiered architecture for its jackpots. This ensures that while some players chase life-changing, multi-million dollar sums, others enjoy the thrill of frequent, smaller "random" drops. There's something for table game players, too!
1. Wide-Area Network (WAN) Progressives**
These are the "heavy hitters". Every bet placed on these specific games across **every RTG-powered casino globally** contributes to a single, massive pool. There are five WAN progressive slots.
* **Seed Amount:** \$100,000 to \$1,000,000
* **Trigger:** These are typically **symbol-driven**. You must land a specific combination (e.g., 5 _Aztec’s Millions_ symbols on a specific payline) to win.
* **The Catch:** Winning these often requires a ***fixed maximum bet***, and the base game RTP (Return to Player) is significantly lower to account for the massive prize. You play these for the jackpot, and you play them with a fixed bet as stated below.
| **Game Title** | **Jackpot Type** | **Typical Seed Amount** | **Max Bet Per Spin (To Qualify)** |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Aztec's Millions** | Network (Symbol) | $1,000,000 | **$5.00** (Fixed) |
| **Megasaur** | Network (Feature) | $1,000,000 | **$5.00** ("Mega Bet") |
| **Jackpot Piñatas Deluxe** | Network (Symbol) | $250,000 | **$5.00** (Fixed) |
| **Shopping Spree II** | Network (Symbol) | $100,000 | **$2.25** (Fixed) |
| **Jackpot Cleopatra's Gold** | Network (Symbol) | $100,000 | **$2.00** (Fixed) |
2. Local/Random Progressives ("Real Series")**
RTG’s most famous innovation is the **Random Progressive Jackpot**. Unlike WANs, these pools are local to a specific casino or a specific operator group.
* **The Random Factor:** They can be triggered at the end of **any spin**, regardless of the outcome on the reels. You don't even need a winning combination to hit the jackpot.
* **Bet Size Independence:** While higher bets technically increase your odds slightly, even a $0.01 spin can trigger a "Major" or "Minor" jackpot.
* **Tiering:** Most Real Series slots feature tiered pots:
* **Mini:** Drops multiple times a day (usually \$100–\$500).
* **Minor:** Drops daily (\$500–\$2,000).
* **Major:** Can reach five figures.

**3. Boiling Point Jackpots**
This is a specialized mechanic found in games like _Spirit of the Inca_. In fact, that's the only one so far.
* **"Must Hit By" Mechanic:** Each jackpot (Mini, Minor, Major, Maxi, Grand) has a "Boiling Point" value displayed on the screen. The jackpot **must** pay out before it reaches that specific number.
* **Strategic Play:** This allows players to "clock" the machines. If a jackpot is near its boiling point, the mathematical probability of it hitting increases significantly.
