Casino Jackpots

Legend has it that the term "jackpot" originated at a time when riverboats with casinos traversed the Mississippi river. Stories suggest that an unbeaten and skilled poker player named Jack Rodgers saved all his winnings in a big iron pot. This was secured at his favorite casino. Rodgers decalred that if anyone could beat him they would win all his wealth. As this decalartion spread, people started referring to the large prize as “Jack’s Pot.”

It is possible that this legendary wealth came to be known as jackpot through the years. The terminology is still used to refer to winning a large prize. Today "Jackpot" is a popular slot machine game. The game is always played via the Internet.

The game is fairly simple. The slot machine downloads three randomly selected numbers or characters. A player has to insert a specified token to start the game.
