Like Genie's HiLo - Genie's HiLo Jackpot is only played with the one deck of cards. Your objective is to predict the next card. First, choose the amount you want to wager and click Confirm . Now pick a card. Choice buttons appear (on the low edge of the screen). You have to predict whether the next card is Higher or Equal or Lower or Equal , and if it is Red or Black (click on the red button if you think it will be red, and vice versa). Click Confirm and pick a card. If your choice is correct, you continue and advance to the next level and make a new choice. This continues until you make an incorrect guess or reach the highest level. If you make an incorrect guess, the game is over and you win an amount according to the highest level you reached (if your first guess is incorrect, you lose your money). The winning amounts are written on the game record bar on the left edge of the screen.
Please note: In Genie's HiLo Jackpot, Aces count as one (the lowest card) and Jokers count as an automatic advance to the next level.
Game Record:
On the left edge of the screen, there is a game record. It displays all the cards drawn and your winning amount at all times. Please note that the winning amount displayed at each level is the total winning amount of the whole game, not just that particular level.
Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.
Please note:
- In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
- If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
- If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
The Jackpot for this game works like this:
|
Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with): |
250 x your bet size. |
|
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot): |
3.80% |
|
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot): |
Reach the 11 th level. |
|
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot): |
No special requirements. |
