Progressive jackpot pokies in New Zealand

Some of the pokies at Royal Vegas New Zealand come with a little something extra: Progressive jackpots! These are networked jackpots that start off with a specific seed value and grow with every bet placed by a player on the network.  When a player hits a jackpot, it goes back to its original seed value and starts growing again. This adds a whole extra layer of entertainment when you play pokies online, because on top of all the fun and games taking place on the reels, the jackpot wheel could randomly activate at any time. When it does, you have the chance to win a Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpot. The Mega Moolah series of pokies games has a Mega jackpot that reseeds at $1 million, while the Wow Pot series Mega jackpot reseeds at a hefty $2 million.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you win at online pokies?

To win at online pokies, you need to land winning combinations of pay symbols along the paylines active in the game. Some symbols such as scatters will unlock special features such as free spins that make it easier to land winning combinations. Symbols land randomly so there is never any guarantee that you will win.

How do you play pokies online?

To play pokies online, you need to register at a licensed casino like Royal Vegas New Zealand, deposit funds into your casino account and select a pokie that you’d like to play. After that you set your betting level and press “spin”. It’s as simple as that.

How do paylines work?

Paylines are the different possible patterns that symbols can fall into on the reels to form winning combinations. Typically they run from left to right, although there are also innovative systems such as Megaways that increase your ways to win. Every pokie has a paytable that explains how the paylines work for that specific game.

What difference is between coins and credits in pokies?

Coins is the number of coins that you choose to bet on the next spin of your pokies game. Credits is how many coins you have left over in your balance. The amount of credits you have changes depending on what coin value you set.
