Rookie, newbie, novice, we’ve heard it all. But you’ll learn quickly when you come to WinStar, because you’ll be having so much fun! We welcome players of all levels of skill and experience into WinStar World Casino and Resort. If there’s a game you’ve been wanting to try, but don’t know how to play it, we’d love to teach you how to get started.
To that end, we’ve created a comprehensive Beginner’s Casino Guide to help you learn the ins and outs of playing at WinStar World Casino and Resort. In part 1 of our guide, you’ll learn the basics of progressive jackpots, our Club Passport Card and table game dos and don’ts.
Progressive Jackpots
When you’re playing at one of our electronic games, you may notice that it has a progressive jackpot. A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that increases in value each time it’s played until the jackpot is hit. The jackpot amount is displayed on a digital display above the machine or above the bank of machines.
There are two types of progressives: in-house progressives and wide area progressives. With in-house progressives, a bank of gaming machines are linked together and playing any machine increases the jackpot value of the entire bank of machines. Eventually, someone at that group of machines will win the jackpot!
With wide area progressives, machines are connected to machines in other casinos, all contributing to raising the collective jackpot until someone wins. With wide area progressives, there are more people competing for the jackpot, so the odds are slimmer, but the payout is much higher. The jackpots on wide area progressives can increase to extremely high, life-changing payout amounts.
Electronic games typically have different amounts you can bet per spin, and there’s typically a max bet button, which simply bets the highest bet per spin allowed on that particular machine. Usually the highest payout amounts are calculated for a max bet spins, so to hit the highest jackpot possible, you need to be using the max bet option.
