What is Mystery Jackpot?

A mystery jackpot is a jackpot that pays out at a randomly chosen point rather than on a fixed combination of symbols. The trigger value — an amount, a time, or a hidden number of spins — is set by the game's random number generator and is never shown, so nothing on screen tells you how close the prize is. Any qualifying spin can win it, and stake size often affects eligibility or the chance of being drawn. Mystery jackpots are usually funded by a small slice of every bet, which is already reflected in the game's published return figure. Because the trigger is hidden, there is no way to judge when a drop is due; each spin is independent. Treat the jackpot as an occasional side outcome, not a reason to raise your stake.
