WowPot Slots (5+ Games)

What WowPot is all about

WowPot is a linked progressive jackpot run by Microgaming, sharing one big pot across several slots. Every bet on a connected game feeds the same rising prize, so it ticks up fast. You might see it called a network jackpot or Mega jackpot elsewhere, but it works the same way.

I like that it sits inside games that already play well on their own. A short trigger round hands out one of four tiers, from Mini up to the headline WowPot. Easy to follow, nothing complicated about it, and the wait for that top tier is what keeps people coming back.

How the jackpot round works

Landing the jackpot wheel is random on most titles, though a few tie it to Free Spins or a bonus. Spin the wheel and it awards one of four levels: Mini, Minor, Major or the big WowPot itself. The seed on the top tier starts around £2 million, which is why the buzz builds. I keep the stake low and just enjoy the ride while it climbs.

Standout slots to try

Book of Mrs Claus WowPot and Amazing Link Zeus WowPot are the two I reach for most, both with tidy base games before the wheel appears. Sisters of Oz WowPot from Fortune Factory Studios is another easy one, and Wheel of Wishes was the original WowPot title that set the network going.

For a bit more variety, Immortal Romance Mega Moolah style crossovers and Juicy Joker Mega Moolah sit alongside the WowPot roster on the same jackpot family. A couple of spins and I'm already grinning, so I'd start with the ones that suit your taste in theme rather than chasing max win figures.

WowPot and RTP

Average RTP across these 5 slots sits near 91.1%, which is on the low side because a chunk of every bet funds the shared jackpot. That is the trade-off with any big progressive. The catalogue max win averages around 13,991x, but the real draw is the multi-million pot rather than a fixed multiplier. Personally I don't mind the lower base return when the top prize is this large.
