What is a jackpot network in online slots?

A jackpot network is a prize pool that grows from bets placed across many casinos running the same game, rather than from a single operator. A small slice of every qualifying spin feeds shared jackpot tiers, so the top prize climbs faster and pays larger sums than any one casino could seed alone.

Networked (pooled) jackpots differ from local jackpots, where the pool is funded only by one operator's players. Pooling produces bigger, faster-growing headline prizes — strong marketing hooks that drive acquisition — at the cost of each operator contributing to, and sharing, a common pool.

Most jackpot systems run several tiers, mixing frequent small awards with a rare grand prize. Providers often let operators choose which tiers are pooled across the network and which stay local to that casino.

CROCO Games & Jackpot network

CROCO Games supports networked jackpots where the format calls for it. Piggy Party XL joins a shared CROCO jackpot network, and Coin Train can pool its Mini and Minor tiers across connected casinos while keeping Major and Grand operator-local — toggled in the game config panel without re-integration.
