Types of USA Bingo Jackpots

The ultimate dream for any USA bingo player is to win the jackpot. Not many people live to see this dream come true. However, it would be easier to attain to it if you choose your game according to the type of jackpot offered.

One of the most popular options is the guaranteed jackpot. As its name implies, this version offers a specific amount of cash as a reward. In the past, this amount would not reduce no matter the number of calls made.

Currently, there is a significant reduction after the 41st call or any other predetermined duration. The 90 ball games found in other countries formerly did not feature this jackpot but at present, it is found everywhere.

When the winners are more than one, the amount is equally split between them. And in the longer games, there could be several winners, the first to complete one line, a two-line victor and finally, the full house winner.

Another type of free bingo jackpot is the coverall. It is still restricted to the US audience because it does not feature in 90 ball games. In this variation, the prize is only awarded to the person who fills the entire card.
It starts with a specific amount that is gradually decreased with respect to the number of calls. The reduction only stops once the amount gets to a minimum payout. The scales used to determine the final amount differ from site to site.

The progressive jackpot is the third popular version in the US. Its popularity is based on the fact that the award only increases with time. The increments made bear a relationship with the number of tickets sold, so the higher, the better.

The winnings in this USA bingo jackpot could be quite substantial because it combines the prize pot money and the specific game prize. But a card has to be filled within a specified number of calls to get this reward.
