Whatever the gamblers might be claiming about their wish of mere having good time in casino and about skirmish of wits in the name of the game, still absolute majority is attracted by the opportunity to win plenty of money putting up a little. There is unlikely a gambler who does not dream of winning thousands or even millions, betting a few coins. Progressive jackpots are created just for such category of gamblers.
Initially the term "jackpot" referred to poker Wholesale Joey Gallo Jersey , according to one of its rules - the parlays to the pot increased, if none of the players collected at least a couple of jacks (the word originated from English words jack and pot). Now the word "jackpot" is often accompanied by the word "progressive" which means accumulation of a prize in the game until certain terms of this jackpot are fulfilled. A certain share of all the bets forms the jackpot, as a rule the share is not that big - basis points Wholesale Delino DeShields Jr. Jersey , but the probability to win the jackpot is very small, approximately 1 to 10000 and perhaps even 1 to several millions and as a result quite a considerable sum of money is accumulated.
Generally the sum of jackpot is thousand times more than the stakes. If we are dealing with online jackpots, then we should note that jackpots are accumulated not in one casino but in all the casinos of a common software provider. It contributes to tenfold increase in jackpots.

It is a classical version - jackpot is used instead of high fixed gain for the rarest combination. If we speak about classical slots, then jackpot is paid for the gain in the last line. In video slot machines there are quite many more opportunities - in some games Wholesale Elvis Andrus Jersey , it is enough to have the same symbols on one of the lines; in others, on the contrary, you should win a special game. The sum of jackpot usually starts from thousands of bets Wholesale Ferguson Jenkins Jersey , but in some slots it starts from hundreds of thousands.

At its best this sum grew daily by $30-$40 thousand, the jackpot reached $3 mln., than - 4 mln Wholesale Adrian Beltre Jersey , 5 mln. and so on. By 15th of May the sum almost reached 8 million US Dollars.
BELFAST, March 4 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) retained its position Saturday as the biggest party in Northern Ireland, but only by the narrowest margin of one seat ahead of pro-republican Sinn Fein.
Now the parties in the region have several weeks to discuss working together to see the return of a devolved assembly.
With all 90 seats allocated, the DUP won 28 seats while Sinn Fein won 27 in what was seen as a major vote of confidence in the party's new leader in Northern Ireland, Michelle O'Neill.
O'Neill went into her first election as leader with a 10-seat gap behind the DUP.
Relatively unknown outside the region, she succeeded after Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, one of the party's big-name personalities, resigned in a fallout with the DUP.
O'Neill now has just three weeks to discuss forming a power-sharing devolved assembly with Arlene Foster, the re-elected DUP leader.
If they fail to reach an agreement, the government secretary of state for Northern Ireland, James Brokenshire, could order a second election and restore home rule from Westminster.
That would be seen as a backward step for Northern Ireland that saw around 3,600 people killed in shootings and bombings in a campaign spanning 30 years by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who demanded the region be reunited with the Dublin-based Irish Republic.
"The prospect of a devolved government being formed is very remote," said Jon Tonge, professor at the University of Liverpool and expert on Irish politics.
Under governance arrangements in Northern Ireland, the Stormont assembly has to be run by republicans and nationalists under a formula worked out as part of peace talks that ended decades of troubles.
The resignation of Deputy First Minister McGuinness automatically meant Foster's role as first minister ended, sparking the snap election, the second within 10 months.
The SDLP won 12 seats, the Ulster Unionists (UUP) 10, the Alliance party (APNI) 8, the Green Party 2, and the remaining three went to one independent and two minority parties.
The most unlucky in the election was Mike Nesbitt, leader of the UUP, who announced his resignation following the party's poor showing.
Just under 65 percent of the voters in Northern Ireland cast votes on Thursday, the highest turnout since the vote which followed the 1998 peace agreement. The size of the assembly was trimmed by 18 seats to 90 as a cost-cutting measure.
