Casino owners in Las Vegas and
similar gaming meccas take advantage of human psychology in order to keep
players gambling longer and with more money. The absence of clocks and
omnipresence of alcohol makes players lose track of time and relax their
inhibitions. By stacking so many slot machines so close to one another, the
sights and sounds of other machines paying off actually positively reinforce
players at non-winning machines to keep at it, confident that their turn might
be right around the corner.
Online casinos such as 4 Jacks can't count on
such gimmicks to keep our customers coming back. We have no show tickets or
leggy waitresses to dress up our classic games of skill and chance. So we rely
on big payouts to keep our clients happy, including large progressive jackpots.
Progressive slots and video poker machines don't just payout a set rate of
return such as 2-to-1 or 10-to-1. On certain pay combinations or winning hands,
the payout is a certain percentage of an ever-accumulating jackpot--or even the
entire jackpot itself. With each pull of the virtual lever, the jackpot
progressively gets bigger, until someone wins the whole thing.
4 Jacks offers both flat and progressive payouts depending on which of our games you
choose to play. Progressive machines generally have fewer small payouts to
offset their huge jackpots, but when they hit big, they really hit big. Take
some time and sample all of our games for free so you can see which style of
play is the right one for you.
