Jackpot Party's Fair Play Guarantees
- Every game at JackpotParty.com has been tested for fairness by an independent test lab (Gaming Laboratories International) where many governments test land-based casino machines.
- Every game at Jackpot Party has been formally approved as "fair, safe & secure" by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
- Jackpot Party publishes the game payout percentages for every slot game in the 'Help Table' of each game.
- Every game outcome at Jackpot Party is 100% random. Only your luck changes.
- We never change the game odds for any player at any time. All players have the same game odds of winning.
- Every slot spin is independent from the prior spins. It is possible to win jackpots on back–to–back spins (meaning there's no payout cycle).
- The Jackpot Party Progressive is completely random and can be triggered with bets as low as 1 pence. However, any combination of betting higher stakes per spin or betting on more spins increases your chance of triggering the Progressive. Once you trigger the Progressive, every player (regardless of stake) has the same chance of winning the top level jackpot. All it takes to win is lucky Present Picking!
- Even if other players are triggering the Jackpot Party Progressive, your odds of triggering it are not impacted.
- Only 'real money' players can trigger and play the Jackpot Party Progressive. Computers (or 'bots') are never used to trigger the Progressive. Any win you see in the Winstream™ is always won by a real money player.
- No employee or agent of Jackpot Party, WMS Industries Inc. or their service providers may wager or win on any game at Jackpot Party.
What is the Jackpot Party Mark of Quality?
The Jackpot Party Mark of Quality is our promise to you, the player, that we will only offer the most legitimate and secure gaming experience. It stands for our commitment to security, heritage and integrity, as outlined on the Mark itself. The date in the centre is a reference to our longevity in the entertainment space – Jackpot Party is owned by a subsidiary of WMS, a company founded nearly 70 years ago and now a $2 Billion company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
“So what?” You might say. “Every gaming site out there promises me the same thing.”
Fair enough. So we thought it would be a good idea if Jackpot Party supported the Mark of Quality with some evidence – and here it is:
WMS History & Heritage
Jackpot Party was created by WMS, a $2 billion, stock exchange listed entertainment company based in Chicago and with offices around the world. Founded in 1943, WMS started life as Williams, named after the founder, Harry Williams. In the spirit of innovation for which it is now famous, Harry saw the popularity of entertainment machines and started building pinball games, which soon became a fad all over the world. In the late '60's, the company turned its attention to the burgeoning world of Juke Boxes, become a leading brand as the popularity of rock music reverberated across youth culture. Twenty years on, the company recognized that home audio and personal stereos were signaling the end of the juke box revolution, so they put their attentions back into gaming machines - this time with mechanical slots. Today, WMS is the second largest manufacturer of video slots in the world, with leading licensed brands including The Wizard of Oz™ and Star Trek™, both of which you can now play online for the first time, here at Jackpot Party.
Alderney Gaming License
All legitimate online gaming operators need a license from an approved jurisdiction. The most respected of these jurisdictions are on what's known as 'the White List', since they are the only licensors validated by the UK government to promote online games in the United Kingdom. Of these White List countries, Alderney Gambling Control Commission has consistently been recognized as one of the most stringent in terms of the guidelines which its operators have to subscribe to. And this is why Jackpot Party is licensed there. They regulate everything from how our games operate, what payouts we offer, our customer satisfaction and the financial governance under which we operate. As such, you won't be able to find a gaming site with tighter controls, all of which are designed with your security (and enjoyment!) in mind.
New York Stock Exchange Listed
WMS is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, under the tag 'WMS'. You can even see the company's share price in real time here if you don't believe us!
