Online slots players in New Jersey know they’ll likely never have a shortage of games to play. Some of New Jersey’s online casinos offer hundreds of slots titles, with the biggest sites, like GoldenNugget.com, offering more than 500 different games.

While all that choice is great, there is one type of slot games that stands out—progressive slots.

Progressive slot games on a live casino floor are linked in with other slot machines, all offering a shared jackpot. Any time a bet is made on any of the machines, the maximum jackpot for all the machines rises slightly.

Online slots are even easier. Place a bet on, say the Loot’en Khamun slots at BorgataCasino.com, and you’re taking a shot at the progressive jackpot that grows with each bet. Any number of other players could be doing the same thing at any given time. The jackpot only grows a little with each bet, of course, but it adds up fast. Some of the biggest online slots jackpots in New Jersey have been on progressive slots.

In April, for example, PlaySugarHouse.com’s Divine Fortune progressive slot hit for $193,000 and then a few weeks later, hit for $61,000. Now that is some divine fortune. Sign up to at PlaySugarHouse.com here.

Dwarfing that, however, are Borgata’s progressive slots—the site has four linked games, which are showing a record-breaking jackpot of more than $2.4 million. You read that right: $2.4 million.

So, the next time you’re looking through the hundreds of online slots choices out there, give a progressive slot game a whirl. You just might set a record—a big record.
