Progressive jackpot pokies are the games where a slice of every bet feeds a prize pool that keeps climbing until somebody hits it. At Fair Go Casino the progressive range is built by SpinLogic Gaming and includes Aztec's Millions, Megasaur, Cash Bandits 3, Plentiful Treasure, Achilles Deluxe and Halloween Treasures, plus long-running catalogue titles such as Spirit of the Inca and Jackpot Piñatas.
This page explains how the pools work, which games to look at first, how Fair Go's opt-in Lobby Jackpots add a second layer on top of any pokie, and what to keep in mind about volatility. rocketplay6.net is an independent affiliate site and earns a commission if you sign up through our links.

How progressive jackpot pokies work
A standard pokie pays fixed amounts from its paytable. A progressive pokie takes a small percentage of each real-money wager and adds it to a jackpot meter. The meter rises with every spin from every player until a trigger condition is met, the pool pays out, and the meter resets to its seed value and starts again.
There are two broad designs in the Fair Go lobby:
- Single-pool progressives. Aztec's Millions and Megasaur each carry one headline jackpot. Cash Bandits 3 also feeds a progressive alongside its vault bonus.
- Tiered progressives. Halloween Treasures runs Mini, Minor, Major and Grand pools; Achilles Deluxe runs Minor and Major; Plentiful Treasure runs eight separate jackpots behind a multi-level bonus. Smaller tiers hit more often, the top tier rarely.
Because part of each bet leaves the base game to feed the pool, progressive pokies tend to feel more volatile in regular play. Check the in-game info panel for the RTP and read the paytable to see whether the jackpot requires a minimum bet. Our RTP and volatility guide goes deeper.

Fair Go does not publish jackpot amounts or hit frequencies in a form we can quote, so we have left those columns out rather than guess. The live meter sits on each game's tile in the lobby.
Aztec's Millions: the one to know
If you only learn one progressive at Fair Go, make it Aztec's Millions. The reason is simple: the jackpot is winnable at any bet level. Many progressive pokies, here and elsewhere, only unlock the top prize at maximum bet, which forces a bigger stake than most punters want. Aztec's Millions lets you play small and still be in the running.
Megasaur is the other classic single-pool title, with a prehistoric theme and a jackpot meter that has been a fixture of SpinLogic lobbies for years. Both are straightforward games; the progressive is the point, not a long list of side features.
Pokies with tiered jackpots
Tiered games give you something to chase between the rare top hits. Halloween Treasures is the clearest example: a 243-ways pokie with Mini, Minor, Major and Grand pools, x5 multipliers and up to 12 free games. Achilles Deluxe pairs Minor and Major progressives with up to 25 free games at triple prizes. Plentiful Treasure goes furthest with eight jackpots reached through a multi-level bonus and a Hold and Spin round.
And Cash Bandits 3 is the hybrid: a progressive jackpot sits beside a vault bonus that can award up to 390 free games with multipliers up to x23, with a 115,000-coin top award in the base paytable.
Lobby Jackpots: the opt-in layer
Separate from the game-specific pools, Fair Go runs Lobby Jackpots. These are opt-in: you choose to join, and a contribution of $0.01 per spin is added to your bets. In return you are eligible for lobby-wide jackpot prizes while playing any eligible pokie, not just the progressives listed above.
Because it is opt-in, you can leave it off while testing a game and switch it on once you settle into a session. Opting in makes each spin a cent dearer, so factor that into your bankroll. The related Bubbling Pot of Fortune tournament offers $25,000 in prizes with free entry; we cover it on the tournament page.
Bonuses and progressive pokies
The WELCOME code (100% up to $200, redeemable five times, 30x wagering on deposit plus bonus) is the natural starting point and there is no maximum cash-out on winnings from it. Two things to check before you chase a jackpot with bonus funds:
- Read the bonus terms for any restriction on progressive games while wagering is active. Fair Go's terms are summarised in our terms explained guide.
- If you would rather play without wagering requirements, deposit $10 or more with no code; a busted deposit then earns 25% instant cashback, or 30% on weekends, via live chat.
Koala's Diary codes typically carry a maximum cash-out of around $180, which makes them a poor fit for jackpot hunting. Use them on regular pokies instead.
Tips before you chase a jackpot
- Open the game in free mode first to learn its base game and bonus triggers.
- Check the paytable for any minimum bet tied to the jackpot. Aztec's Millions has none.
- Set a session budget. Progressives can run cold for long stretches.
- Remember withdrawals: $100 minimum, $2,500 maximum per transfer, and larger wins may take several transfers. See withdrawals.
- Verify your account early so a win is not delayed by paperwork.

Frequently asked questions
The headline progressives are Aztec's Millions, Megasaur and Cash Bandits 3, with Plentiful Treasure offering eight jackpots. Halloween Treasures runs Mini, Minor, Major and Grand tiers and Achilles Deluxe runs Minor and Major. Spirit of the Inca and Jackpot Piñatas are also in the catalogue; check their in-game panels for jackpot details.
Not always. Aztec's Millions is explicitly winnable at any bet level. For other titles the paytable sets the rules, so open the info panel before you play. Lobby Jackpots are a separate opt-in layer that adds $0.01 to each spin rather than requiring a maximum bet.
Lobby Jackpots are an optional jackpot layer that runs across the lobby rather than inside one game. You opt in, pay $0.01 extra per spin, and become eligible for lobby-wide jackpot prizes while playing eligible pokies. You can opt out at any time if you prefer the cheaper spin.
The WELCOME bonus has no maximum cash-out on winnings, which suits jackpot play better than small promotional codes with capped withdrawals. Always read the terms for any game restrictions while wagering is active, and remember withdrawals are capped at $2,500 per transfer.
Jackpot wins are credited to your casino balance and withdrawn through the normal cashier: Bitcoin, eZeeWallet or wire transfer, $100 minimum and $2,500 maximum per transfer, processed within two business days once your identity is verified. Larger wins are paid across several transfers under the weekly and monthly limits.
