Why Quick Hit is Generally a Max Bet Game**
Quick Hit, a popular slot machine game developed by Bally Technologies, has been a favorite among many players. One of the reasons for its popularity is the chance to win progressive jackpots, which can be life-changing. However, there's a catch – you need to bet the maximum amount to have a shot at winning these jackpots.
How the Progressive Jackpots Work
The progressive jackpots on Quick Hit games are displayed on the top box of the machine. As shown in the picture above, the jackpot values increase as you move up the levels. However, there's a catch – you can only win these jackpots by betting the maximum amount.
What Happens When You Bet Less Than Max
If you bet less than the maximum amount, you'll still win, but your payout will be proportional to the starting progressive jackpot amount. For example, if you bet $1.50 and get five Quick Hit symbols, your prize would be $3 (10x the bet). However, if you had bet the max amount of $1.50, your prize would be $18.11 – a premium of 20% over the normal payout.
The Pattern Repeats
This pattern continues for all five progressive jackpots. When you bet the maximum amount and get five or more Quick Hit symbols, you'll earn a premium on top of the standard payout.
When Max Betting is Not Required
However, there are situations where max betting is not required to win the jackpot. In some cases, casinos may turn off the progressive jackpots, replacing them with fixed jackpots that don't increase in value. This is often seen in major casino chains like Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
What to Do When Jackpots Are Fixed
When you encounter a Quick Hit game with fixed jackpots, you can still play it, but you won't have the chance to win progressive jackpots. In this case, your payout will be proportional to your bet, without any premium for betting the maximum amount.
Should You Play Games with Fixed Jackpots?
While games with fixed jackpots may not offer the same excitement as those with progressive jackpots, you can still have fun playing them. Just keep in mind that the payback percentage might be lower on these machines compared to their progressive counterparts.
Tips for Playing Quick Hit Games
- Always check if the game has progressive or fixed jackpots before playing.
- If the game has progressive jackpots, consider max betting to increase your chances of winning a larger prize.
- Don't be afraid to try different machines and bet levels to find the one that suits you best.
