The term progressive slot refers to a specific category of video slot machine or digital gaming software characterized by an incremental prize structure known as a progressive jackpot. Unlike fixed-payout models, these games incorporate a contribution mechanism where a predetermined percentage of each wager is diverted to an escalating jackpot pool.

Regulatory compliance requires that such games clearly define the technical triggers for jackpot distribution and provide comprehensive paytable disclosures to ensure players are informed of the specific mechanics and mathematical requirements necessary to secure the prize.
