Just as there are games for progressive jackpots in slot machines, there are also games for progressive jackpots in roulette. Roulette is also interesting as bingo game. The progressive roulette games are the ones that offer the big jackpots. The progressive jackpot games are administered by the software companies. Microgramming’s version is called Roulette Royale. In this game, available at most Microgramming powered online casinos, there is a contribution to the jackpot every time the game is played. The player can play for the progressive jackpot by making a $1 sidebet during the game. The jackpot is won when the same number is hit in five consecutive plays. If the player hits the same number four times, he wins $3,000; three times and he wins $200. If he hits the same number twice in a row the win $15. Different betting system makes roulette popular in people who love casino gambling.

The odds of winning are not very good.  If each number has a 1/37 chance in winning, then the probability of hitting two numbers in a row is 1/37 x 1/37 or 1368 to one. These are the odds of winning $15 on the progressive game. The odds of hitting the same number five times in a row are over sixty nine million to one. Keep this in mind the next time you play the game. The jackpot is for a nice amount, but think of how much you will spend trying to win. You are better off playing a regular game with smaller more frequent winnings than sitting there trying to win a progressive jackpot. Many online casinos are available for practice before real casino gambling.
