Jackpot Myths | What Most Players Get Wrong

July 05, 2025

In the exciting world of online gaming, few things spark as much curiosity (and confusion) as the jackpot. Whether you're spinning reels or joining a live table game at Basant Club, the dream of hitting a life-changing win is always in the air. But along with the thrill comes a host of myths and misconceptions that can mislead even seasoned players.

Let’s clear the air.

In this blog, we’re busting the most common jackpot myths—and sharing the truths that smart, successful players rely on. Whether you're a casual gamer or chasing your next big win, understanding what’s real (and what’s not) can help you play better, smarter, and with confidence.

Myth #1: "The Machine Is Due to Hit a Jackpot"

One of the oldest and most widespread myths is the belief that a slot machine is “due” to hit after a long dry spell.

Truth:

All reputable games at Basant Club use Random Number Generators (RNGs). This means every spin is completely independent of the previous one. A machine could go hours without a big win—or hit jackpots back-to-back. There is no pattern and no guarantee based on past spins.

Pro Tip: Instead of waiting for a “hot” machine, focus on games with bonus features and high Return to Player (RTP) rates.

Myth #2: "Betting Max Always Increases Your Odds"

Many players think that betting the maximum amount automatically boosts their chances of winning a jackpot.

Truth:

While some progressive jackpot games may require a minimum bet to qualify for the full jackpot, betting max doesn’t guarantee better odds in most cases. What it does do is increase your potential payout, not the probability of hitting it.

Smart Strategy: Always read the game’s payout table to see what’s required to access jackpot features. Bet within your budget while ensuring you qualify for bonuses.

Myth #3: "Online Jackpots Are Rigged"

Skeptics often believe that online casinos like Basant Club “rig” games to prevent players from winning big jackpots.

Truth:

Licensed and regulated platforms like Basant Club use certified RNG software and undergo regular audits to ensure fair play. Jackpots are real, winners are real, and the system is transparent.

Confidence Tip: Stick to verified games and platforms. Your safety and fairness are built into every spin.

Myth #4: "You Can’t Win the Jackpot on Small Bets"

This is a common misconception—especially among new players.

Truth:

Some games feature tiered jackpots or randomly triggered progressive jackpots that can be won at any bet size. While higher bets might lead to bigger wins, smaller bets don’t disqualify you from jackpots.

Play Smart: Read the game rules. Some jackpots are triggered by features, not amounts. Stay consistent and play within your budget.

Myth #5: "Jackpots Are Only for Slot Players"

When people hear “jackpot,” they usually picture spinning slot reels. But jackpots exist in a variety of formats.

Truth:

While slots are known for their progressive jackpots, Basant Club also offers jackpot opportunities in card games, live dealer tables, and event-based draws. You don’t have to be a slot lover to go for gold.

Learn how bonus features work
