iGaming Glossary / Fixed Jackpot
What is Fixed Jackpot?
A top prize set at a fixed amount that does not grow with play.
A fixed jackpot is a top prize on a slot that is set at a flat amount and stays there. Unlike a progressive jackpot, which climbs as players bet, a fixed jackpot pays the same headline figure every time it is hit, often shown as a multiple of your stake.
Why it matters: fixed jackpots tend to hit more often than progressives because the prize is smaller and built into the game's normal maths. That makes them a steadier, lower-variance kind of big win to chase.
The trade-off is that the ceiling is capped. You will never see a fixed jackpot balloon into a life-changing sum the way a network progressive can. If a giant prize is the goal, look at progressives instead. See the progressive jackpot guide for the difference.
