Ontario’s best progressive jackpot slots

The pot climbs until someone wins.

Team Betty 1 min read

Progressive jackpot slots work differently from standard slots. A percentage of every bet goes into a shared prize pool that grows until someone wins it, then it resets and starts climbing again.

Here are 8 of the best progressive jackpot slots you can play on Betty right now.

9 Masks of Fire™ King Millions™

The game that launched the King Millions network, and it still makes the clearest case for what the network is. Every spin contributes to the pot, and the bonus wheel can fire at any time. The Grand jackpot seeds at $1M and keeps climbing until someone hits it. Medium volatility keeps the pacing steady.

Cash Machine Jackpots

Here you’ll see three reels on one line, designed to look like a dollar bill, and the numbers that land are literally your prize. Get 10-5-00 and that's $10,500. You need to bet $10 to unlock all three spots on the reel and the progressive jackpots, and to trigger the jackpot wheel you’ll need to land a Spin symbol on the third reel. You won’t get any bonus rounds, free spins, or complicated mechanics, just numbers and anticipation.

Arena of Gold: Shields of Glory POWER COMBO™ King Millions™

This one is built around a single moment, when all three Power Combo modes fire at once during free spins. Wild reels, a 15x multiplier, and Jackpot Power stacking together with six jackpot tiers in play simultaneously, including the King Millions Grand. It's the most feature-dense game on this list, and the ceiling reflects that.

The Goonies Quest For Treasure 2 Jackpot Royale Express

Blueprint built this one like the movie it's based on; everything gets bigger the deeper you go. Sloth keeps the base game unpredictable, a treasure map trail unlocks features as you play, and free spins give you a choice between multipliers or a reel flood of cash symbols. High volatility with a 10,000x max win, and the trail gives longer sessions more to work with.

Rising Rewards King Millions™

The grid pays both directions, which sounds like a small detail until a near-miss from the left resolves as a winner from the right. It has a Vegas game-show energy — bright, retro, loud — and the multiplier keeps climbing through the base game before free spins even start. Two jackpot systems mean two separate wheels in play.

Majestic Fury Win Stepper Jackpot Royale Express

It’s a 3×3 fruit machine, but don’t let the simplicity fool you. When Cash Collect triggers, the Win Stepper drops the outer reels down a position to expose new symbols, so one trigger can cascade into multiple collections before it's done. The Lion Strike fires randomly on top of all of it, which keeps the game unpredictable in both directions.

Starlight Jackpots™ – Captain's Catch™

You're on a fishing boat, and the whole base game is the build-up: goldfish land and fill a net above the reels, and when it breaks, free games start with Collector symbols that scoop every cash value on screen. An octopus can crack open extra reel positions loaded with jackpot stars. The four progressive tiers only exist inside the bonus, so every spin is building toward a shot at them.

9 Pots of Gold™ King Millions™

The same engine as 9 Masks of Fire with one change that matters: low volatility, which is almost unheard of in a progressive jackpot slot. It pays more steadily, the dry stretches are shorter, and the King Millions bonus wheel, with the same Grand jackpot, is still in play. This is a solid entry point for players who want jackpot exposure without the swings.

 

The pot’s growing

Progressive jackpot slots give every spin a shot at something bigger. Whether you’re drawn to the massive King Millions network, the hits of Jackpot Royale Express, or the simplicity of Cash Machine Jackpots, these games all share one thing: the prize keeps growing until someone takes it home.

 

Types of progressive jackpots

Not all progressive jackpots work the same way. The differences come down to how the prize pool is built and how many games feed into it.

Standalone progressives are tied to a single game. Only bets placed on that specific slot contribute to the jackpot, so the prize grows more slowly and tends to cap at a lower ceiling. Cash Machine Jackpots is an example.

Local or in-house progressives link multiple games within a single casino or platform. Bets across several titles feed the same pot, which means faster growth and larger prizes. Starlight Jackpots works this way, pooling contributions from a library of connected games.

Wide-area network progressives connect games across multiple casinos and platforms. A percentage of every bet placed on any connected game, anywhere, feeds the same jackpot. That’s how the prize pools reach into the millions. King Millions is a wide-area network jackpot, however in Ontario, the pot is pooled exclusively from Ontario players under AGCO rules.

 

FAQs

What is a progressive jackpot?

A progressive jackpot is a prize pool that increases every time someone plays the game without winning the jackpot. A small percentage of each bet is added to the pot, so it grows continuously until a player hits the winning combination or triggers the jackpot feature. Once won, the jackpot resets to a predetermined starting value and begins climbing again.

How do progressive jackpot slots work?

Every bet placed on a progressive jackpot slot contributes a small percentage to the jackpot pool. In Ontario, networked progressives like King Millions operate under AGCO rules, meaning the pot is fed exclusively by Ontario players rather than a global pool, so the jackpot grows based on local activity. The jackpot is typically triggered through a random bonus feature, like a bonus wheel, rather than through a specific symbol combination on the reels. Once triggered, the feature determines whether you win a smaller fixed prize or one of the progressive tiers.

How often do progressive jackpots hit?

It depends on the jackpot tier. Smaller progressive pots, like the Mini or Minor tiers in Jackpot Royale Express, are designed to drop more frequently, sometimes multiple times a day across the network. Larger jackpots hit far less often. In Ontario, King Millions jackpot wins are drawn from a local pool of Ontario players, and confirmed Canadian wins have come in around the $1M mark. There’s no set schedule, and every spin has a chance to trigger the jackpot regardless of how recently it was last won.
