What You Need to Know About Bingo Jackpots
So, you’re probably wondering what all the fuss is about bingo jackpots. If you scroll through our countless bingo games, you’ll notice that each of them says Jackpot on the left-hand side. For many, that’s accompanied by “N/A”, which means there’s no jackpot for that game.
For the ones that have a prize listed, though, that means you’ll have a chance of winning the jackpot if you play. Take Paddy’s Jackpot Room, for instance. That one has a set jackpot of £140 listed on the thumbnail, meaning that someone has a chance to win it in every game.
There are other rooms, such as the Gold Room, that come with progressive jackpots – these can grow massive over time. These jackpots can be paid out to any lucky winner, and it could be you!

The Mechanics of Bingo Jackpots
There are two types of bingo jackpots – fixed and progressive. The fixed jackpots are usually lower amounts than the progressive ones, but they pay out more frequently.
Every bingo game comes with standard prizes that you can win for completing lines on your bingo card. The jackpots are reserved for people who get a full house. On the fixed jackpot games, the first person to get a full house will claim the jackpot.
On the progressive jackpot games, if you get a full house, you might win the progressive jackpot. It’s not guaranteed, though. However, you’ll still win a large return even if you don’t get the ultimate prize. More on this in the next section.
Progressive Jackpots in Bingo Games
Progressive jackpots are jackpots that accumulate over time from all the games on a network. Thousands of players all over the world contribute to the prize pool, and it pays out randomly to one lucky winner. Therefore, if a few people around the world get a full house in that game at the same time, one of those people will win the progressive jackpot.
You can tell which games are the progressive jackpot ones as their jackpot prize money keeps rising in real time on the thumbnail. The jackpot will keep on rising until someone wins it.
Factors That Influence Jackpot Size in Bingo
The games here are Paddy Power are designed to appeal to a wide range of players. We’ve got some small, fixed jackpots for casuals who want to play for lower stakes, and some larger fixed jackpots for those who want to be in with the chance to win a bit more.
The progressive jackpots can rise over time, and they get bigger depending on how many people are playing them. If nobody claims the prize, they can grow into the tens of thousands!
Role of RNG in Bingo Jackpot Games
If you’re wondering how these bingo jackpots pay out, it’s all about RNG. This stands for random number generator, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. There’s no need for a bingo caller to pick out balls, and the RNG works much faster than they would anyway. The RNG will determine which numbers you’ll be able to strike off from your card.
