Questions logged
Findings: Jackpot Questions
Research question: How likely am I to land the top jackpot?+
A careful reading of the evidence. The top jackpots are rarely won and every result is random. See a jackpot as a pleasant surprise if it comes, never as something to expect. Record the losses as well as the wins.
Research question: Must I bet the most to have a chance?+
Method first, conclusions later. That varies by game. Some set a qualifying stake level, so look at the game's info panel.
To test: How are big jackpot prizes paid out?+
large win payout and verification process
To test: Does the welcome bonus apply to jackpot games?+
jackpot bonus eligibility
Open question: What is a daily jackpot?+
daily jackpot explanation — remove if not offered
Open question: Does a jackpot go 'cold' once it has been won?+
Observation recorded. No. Each spin stands alone, so a recent win makes the next one neither more nor less likely.
