Name the jackpot layer
Open the game rules and determine whether the meter is local, linked across selected games or part of a wider provider network. The displayed amount alone does not define the pool.

Identify the Pool, Qualifying Stake and Reset Rule
Two games can display a progressive meter while contributing to different pools. A local jackpot may belong to one title or casino, while a network pool can connect many instances. Eligibility can depend on the game, wallet, stake or optional contribution.
Enter the current casino lobbyCheck contribution eligibility
Confirm the qualifying stake, coin value, paylines, wallet and any optional jackpot contribution. Do not assume every spin at every amount can win the displayed top prize.
Read the award condition
Identify whether the prize depends on a symbol result, random trigger, must-hit range or live-game event. Separate the base-game paytable from the progressive condition.
Understand the reset
After a win, the displayed pool can return to zero or a seed amount and begin growing again. A lower meter after a public win is not by itself evidence that the earlier value disappeared incorrectly.
What to keep
Keep the provider, game, jackpot name, pool type, qualifying stake, contribution rule, trigger, displayed amount and seed/reset description.
