This new 5 Reel Video Slots style progressive game from Microgaming shares the same progressive jackpot as it's 3 Reel predecessor. Like most other Microgaming progressive slots games, winning the progressive jackpot requires you to play the max bet.
The main difference between this new 5 reel version and the previous 3 reel casino slots game, is the frequency of the payout's and their size. With this new video slots version you are far for likely to win, with a massive 34 possible winning combinations and a wild symbol to help you out, but the actual payout's are much lower.
The bottom line is that like most progressive slots games, there's not much point in playing if you don't play max bet, but with the original 3 reel version or this new 5 reel game sharing the same progressive pot, you can choose which version suits you best!
