I'm not sure this is the case. We have to take into account the fundamental difference between a normal slot and a progressive. The progresssive jackpot grows proportionally to the amount of money wagered on the game, all the money for the jackpot is pooled together from all the various casinos on the network. For the sake of a huge progressive we also sacrifice game play, smaller normal wins, poor bonus game etc whilst all the time the casino's are collecting money towards the eventual JP hit. The bigger it gets the better both for the player who hits but especially for the casinos selling the hugest online slot JP on the planet........
