Jackpot Cards
Jackpot Cards is Amusnet's four-level mystery progressive, carried across a large part of its catalogue. It can trigger at random after any completed round, independently of what the reels did, and it is decided by picking cards until three of a suit appear. It is one of the clearest jackpot systems in the business, and its rules are unusually player-friendly in one specific respect.
How it triggers
Jackpot Cards can be randomly triggered after any completed game round, once winnings are collected. It is not tied to a symbol combination, a bonus round or anything visible on the reels.
That means there is nothing to play toward and no way to make it more likely through how you spin. It sits on top of the base game as a separate prize layer, and when it fires you are guaranteed one of the four levels.
The card pick
Once triggered you are shown twelve face-down cards. You pick until three of the same suit are revealed, and that suit determines which jackpot level you win.
The suits map to the four levels from lowest to highest: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades. Spades is the top level. Because you are guaranteed to reach three of a suit eventually, every trigger pays something — the question is only which level.
Bet size does not change your chance
This is the part worth knowing, and it runs against the assumption most players carry. Amusnet states plainly that bet size does not affect your chance of winning any level.
A larger stake does not make the jackpot more likely to trigger, and it does not make a higher suit more likely once it does. Some third-party sources claim otherwise; the provider's own statement is the one to trust.
That makes Jackpot Cards unusual. Many progressives require a minimum qualifying stake or scale your odds with your bet — see how progressive pools generally work. This one does not.
Which games carry it
Jackpot Cards appears across much of the Amusnet catalogue — the traditional reel games with familiar themes such as Olympus Glory, 40 Super Hot and Zodiac Wheel. See the Amusnet studio page for the house style.
⚠️ Do not confuse it with EGT Digital's systems. Amusnet and EGT Digital are separate companies publishing online versions of the same classic land-based titles, so the same game name can appear in both catalogues with a different jackpot underneath. EGT Digital builds run Clover Chance or Bell Link, which have no card pick at all.
