Casino Poker Progressive Jackpots

Homepage > Online Casino Articles


There are a large number of online casino games that are based on poker hand rankings. These games are quite popular because they to some extent provide the thrill of competitive poker. In order to add more excitement to these games, some online gaming software providers have introduced progressive jackpots in the games.

Microgaming offers two casino poker games with progressive jackpots but has given unique names to the games. Microgaming’s Caribbean Stud Poker is called Cyberstud Poker. This casino poker game has a compulsory $1 bet for the progressive jackpot in addition to the normal wager. For those players who want to play Cyberstud Poker without the progressive jackpot, Microgaming offers a separate game. If the player draws a royal flush he hits the progressive jackpot. If he draws a flush or higher ranking hand he receives a fixed payout for the compulsory wager as per the payout table. Over the last 365 days the progressive jackpot of Cyberstud Poker has paid an average of $280K per hit and was hit on an average every four months.

Microgaming’s Let ‘Em Ride is called Poker Ride. In this case the $1 wager for the progressive jackpot is optional. If the player draws a royal flush he gets 100% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a straight flush then he gets 10% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a flush or higher ranking hand he receives a fixed payout for the compulsory wager as per the payout table. Over the last 365 days the progressive jackpot of Cyberstud Poker has paid an average of $110K per hit and was hit on an average every nine days.

Cryptologic offers only one casino poker game with a progressive jackpot, which is Caribbean Stud Poker. The progressive jackpot is formatted in a similar manner to Poker Ride of Microgaming. The player places an optional $1 bet for the progressive jackpot. If the player draws a royal flush he gets 100% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a straight flush then he gets 10% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a flush or higher ranking hand he receives a fixed payout for the compulsory wager as per the payout table. Over the last 365 days the progressive jackpot of Cyberstud Poker has paid an average of $160K per hit and was hit on an average every 140 days.

Real Time Gaming (RTG) offers four casino poker games with progressive jackpots. These are Let ‘Em Ride, Caribbean Stud Poker, Caribbean Hold ‘Em Poker and Caribbean Draw Poker. The progressive jackpot format is identical in all four games. The player places an optional $1 bet for the progressive jackpot. If the player draws a royal flush he gets 100% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a straight flush then he gets 10% of the progressive jackpot amount. If he draws a flush or higher ranking hand he receives a fixed payout for the compulsory wager as per the payout table. The payout for a flush in Real Time Gaming casino poker games is 75 to 1, whereas the same hand pays out only 50 to 1 in the progressive casino poker games of other online gaming software providers. The Real Time Gaming progressive jackpots in these casino poker games pay out much smaller amounts but are hit more frequently. The average payouts range between $30K and $70K and they hit every 10 to 13 days.
