Bingo Jackpots Explained

What are Bingo Jackpots?

Bingo jackpots allow players to compete for special prize funds. These refer to the largest possible offer on a specific game. There is no way of knowing when the jackpot may be won, and bingo jackpots vary from game to game and between sites. 

Each bingo game will clearly indicate to players what jackpot is available before they begin purchasing tickets and playing. 

The Different Types of Bingo Jackpots

There are different types of bingo jackpots that can be played for; the two most common are Fixed Jackpots and Progressive Jackpots. We have looked at some that players can expect to find in more detail.

Fixed Jackpots

This is a set prize amount that is always available at a bingo site. The size remains unchanged, regardless of how many times it has been won.

It is normally won by achieving a full house in a specific number of balls or less, or sometimes in a pattern game within the stipulated ball count.

If the fixed jackpot is won, it is split equally between all the winning tickets that meet the win criteria.

Progressive Jackpots

The premise of Progressive Jackpots is the same as that of Fixed Jackpots. Players need to complete a full house within a specified number of calls.

The difference is that a progressive jackpot increases in every game until it is won. Once it has been won, it will reset to a certain amount and increase once again. 

Community Jackpots 

Some progressive jackpots are also set up at Community Jackpots.

A Community bingo Jackpot is one that is shared amongst all of the contributing players. It can be shared in a variety of ways, with the most common being a 50 split for the player who triggered the jackpot, and the other 50 to the other players.
