Rules and directions on how to play the football game Jackpot
Jackpot (also referred to as Jackpot!) is an American and Canadian television game show produced by Bob Stewart which saw contestants attempting to solve riddles in order to win cash and prizes. Jackpot made its debut on the NBC television network on January 7, 1974 as part of their daytime schedule and ran until September 26, 1975. The show videotaped in New York. Jackpot Inferno features 5 reels and a 50-payout grid that is commonly present in many penny slots. The lowest bet in the game is 0.30 coins and the highest bet is 3.00. What really makes Jackpot Inferno an awesome slot machine game is all of the frequently triggered bonus rounds. There is a Jackpot Jump Progressive bonus and the Free Spin bonus.
What Is Needed To Play Jackpot
Children and a football
Object of the Jackpot game
Throw passes that are worth different amounts of points for each one.
Set up the Game
Decide who will throw the ball first. Then determine what the winning number will be - this is the number that the children will get their points to add up to - 500 is a good number. And also determine the bankrupt numbers - if at anytime your point total adds up to these amounts you loose all your points and have to start from zero.
Usually we play that 100, 300 and 450 are bankrupt numbers. All other players go a good distance from the thrower and get prepared to catch the ball.
How to Play Jackpot
The thrower then throws the football and at the same time yells out a number (25, 100, 30...). This is the point value of the throw and all the players try to catch the ball. The player that catches the ball gets the points and is the new thrower. Players can not go over the set winning number or they go bankrupt and have to start again. The thrower can also call out 'Bankrupt' as he throws the ball and anyone who catches it loses all their points.
Variations:
Along with a number called out when throwing the ball the thrower can call out different ways the ball must be caught such as: handcuffs - ball has to be caught behind the back, seal - ball has to be caught with the palms only, freeze - players have to freeze and catch the ball where they are standing. If the ball is caught differently then what the thrower calls out the catcher loses all their points.

Jackpot Slots
Jackpot slots are games that are linked to a progressive network in which players from around the world in multiple casinos feed jackpots that build and build until someone scoops the big one.
In this section, you’ll find all of our progressive slot jackpots like King Cashalot, Tunzamunni, Fruit Fiesta, Cash Splash and WowPot.
KingCashalot, for example, pays out in the region of €700,000 on average. Since players have been hitting the jackpot, this slot has paid out on average around twice a year.
Other progressive slots pay out lower amounts but on a more frequent basis (we are talking averages here). So Cash Splash (there is a 3 reel version and a 5 reel version by the way) pays out on average around €25,000 but the difference is that this jackpot is hit sometime twice a day.
We have plenty of slots that aren’t linked to progressives that have big jackpots in their own right (like the mobile Dazzle Me slot for instance). But the rule of thumb is that you’ll need to pay one of these jackpot slots for the big, big wins.
Mega Moolah
One of the bigger progressive jackpots you’ll see at Wombat Casino is Mega Moolah.
Mega Moolah has 4 different jackpot totals. The mega progressive jackpot doesn’t pop that often (around twice a year on average), but when it does the payout can be big. The highest recorded jackpot was £13.2 million and like London buses, another one came quickly afterwards and another lucky punter won over $7.6 million a few month later.
The slot has plenty of features to entertain you including wilds, scatters, and a bonus game. If you land 3 red monkeys (the scatters) you will set off the feature bonus.
To qualify for the big jackpot, you must bet 45 coins per spin with a coin value of £/€/$0.05, – i.e. £/€ $2.25 per spin.
How will you know if you have won the jackpot? Well, you’ll need to get into the Mega Bonus Wheel game first- if you nail that one, you’ve won the Big One!
Jackpot slots give you the opportunity of playing for a lottery or online keno style jackpot while spinning the reels, but you do need to remember that a portion of your bet will go towards feeding the prize pool.
Treasure Nile
One of our other favourite progressive slots is the Treasure Nile slot. The jackpots may not be quite in the same league as King Cashalot, but they are still pretty decent and they “pop” more frequently.
On average the jackpots pay out around €50,000 (sometimes more, sometimes less), but the frequency on average is every 3 days or so.
As the name suggests, this is an Egyptian themed slot
Treasure Nile is a Microgaming powered jackpot slot with an Egyptian theme with bright and vibrant colours. It’s a very popular game which goes some way to explaining why the game manages to pay out such sizeable sums so frequently.
For a chance of scooping the progressive jackpot you must bet 9 coins at a coin value of £/€/$0.50, so £/€/$4.50 per spin.
The Treasure Nile symbol is wild, and the thing you need to be closely tracking is the King Tut symbol – five of these along pay-line 9, and you are on your way to some Egyptian gold- you will have won the jackpot!
We happen to like the Egyptian theme in any case- the slot is packed full of Egyptian symbols and graphics-it’s a really traditional slot with a difference- the big jackpot!
