LeoJackpot

LeoJackpot is a progressive jackpot feature you’ll find on selected LeoVegas casino) games. Once you opt in, a little extra goes into a shared prize pool with every spin. That gives you a random chance to win one of four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega. Any opted-in spin could trigger a prize, no matter your bet size or how the game plays out.New Zealand players have full access to LeoJackpot under the same conditions as other supported regions, with all jackpot tiers available to eligible participants. The sections below break down how LeoJackpot works and what to expect when you opt in.

LeoJackpot is simple to activate but has a few rules worth knowing before you start. Here’s how the feature works from opting in to potentially landing a prize.

LeoJackpot operates on a voluntary basis and must be activated at the start of each gaming session. The feature is enabled by selecting the "Opt-in" button that appears at the bottom of compatible casino games on the LeoVegas platform. A minimum total stake of €0.10 (NZ$0.18) is required to qualify, which means the base game stake must meet or exceed this threshold before the opt-in becomes available.

As established, the opt-in remains active for the duration of the current session but does not carry over automatically to future sessions, allowing full control over when to participate in the progressive jackpot feature. Each opted-in spin contributes directly to the progressive prize pools, helping them grow until they're won.

When the jackpot is triggered, the game shifts to a separate screen with a fortune wheel. A single spin of the wheel decides which jackpot tier is awarded: Mini, Minor, Major or Mega. Once a prize is paid out, that tier resets to its seed amount for all players and begins building again with future contributions.

The jackpot is available on a wide range of selected titles, all marked with the LeoJackpot badge on the website and in the in-game menu. The great part is that it covers more than just traditional progressive slots.

Many popular games without a built-in jackpot feature, including Starburst, can still be played with the LeoJackpot opt-in active. As mentioned earlier, any opted-in spin on these games has a random chance of triggering one of the jackpot tiers, with no need for a specific symbol combination or feature to appear.

Below is a selection of popular LeoVegas titles that offer the LeoJackpot feature:

Razor Ways: Push Gaming slot set under the sea, featuring an expanding grid that can reach 46,656 ways to win, plus reveal symbols and cascading wins

Money Track 2: Five-reel, 40-payline slot by Stakelogic featuring a cash collection mechanic along with a train-heist bonus

Book of Tut Megaways: Ancient Egypt-themed slot from Pragmatic Play offering up to 117,649 ways to win. Features include free spins and a special expanding symbol

Big Bass Amazon Xtreme: Fishing-themed slot from Pragmatic Play with ten paylines. Offers free spins and win multipliers. The top prize can reach up to 10,000x the bet

As outlined earlier, LeoJackpot is made up of four progressive tiers, each with its own prize pool that grows from contributions across all eligible games. Each tier has a seed value, which is the guaranteed minimum amount it resets to after being won.

The typical starting amounts for each tier are:

Mini: NZ$8.50

Minor: NZ$170

Major: NZ$17,000

Mega: NZ$8.5 million

The jackpots are progressive, which means they grow until they are won. Once a prize is triggered, it resets to its seed value and starts building again with subsequent opted-in spins.

The Mini and Minor tiers are won more often, while the Major and Mega tiers can accumulate for longer, sometimes reaching large totals before being claimed. All tiers are awarded at random when playing an eligible game with the LeoJackpot opt-in active.

The following tips can keep you in control while playing LeoJackpot games and make your sessions more manageable:

As established, jackpot-eligible titles are listed on the LeoVegas website and in the game lobby, marked with a clear LeoJackpot badge. You can also visit the dedicated LeoJackpot page for the full list of participating games. If you already have preferred games, check whether they’re part of the network.Playing something familiar can help you stay comfortable with the game’s pace and features while still contributing to the jackpot. If you want to explore, browsing the eligible list may lead you to new titles that fit your style in terms of volatility, theme, bonus mechanics, or visual design.

The choice to opt into LeoJackpot comes down to your budget and risk tolerance. Since jackpot rounds trigger randomly, regardless of stake size or game results, there’s no mathematically optimal time to join. It can make sense to opt in when you’ve set aside enough funds to cover the additional NZ$0.18 per spin without cutting into your main bankroll.Avoid opting in if you’re chasing losses or playing outside your planned limits, as the extra cost can quickly add up. Because opt-in doesn’t apply to your entire account or the whole day, you can adjust it based on your current balance, mood, time available, or session goals.Budgeting your Extra StakeThe extra cost is fixed at about €0.10 (NZ$0.18) per spin, so it’s worth factoring it into your session plan. Multiply this amount by the number of spins you expect to play to see your total jackpot contribution.

For instance, 200 spins would add roughly NZ$36 in extra stakes. Knowing this figure in advance helps you decide how much to reserve for regular bets compared with jackpot contributions.It’s best to treat the jackpot cost as a separate side budget to avoid dipping into your main bankroll unexpectedly. Keeping the extra stake within a set limit allows you to take part without letting it overrun your overall play funds.

Jackpots are awarded at random, with no pattern, “due” time, or way to force them to drop. Larger bets or longer sessions don’t improve the odds. The safest approach is to treat LeoJackpot as an extra rather than the main goal.Keep limits in place for both base bets and jackpot contributions, and stick to them. Once you’ve reached your planned spend, consider cashing out or switching to non-jackpot games to finish the session on your own terms.
