Could you explain what progressive jackpots are in social casinos?

I see a Progressive Jackpots section on American Luck, but I don't understand how they differ from regular slots. Could someone please explain what a progressive jackpot is and how it works in simple terms? 

Let me clarify: I want to understand this better before diving into that category. I’m a beginner. I’ve been playing on American Luck for a few weeks, but I've always avoided jackpot slots because they seemed too complicated for beginners. I’ve now decided to figure it out. Specifically, how does a progressive jackpot grow, and what determines its size? Do all players on the platform contribute to it simultaneously, or does everyone play independently? How realistic is it for an average player to win one?

I didn't understand the difference for a long time either, so I also steered clear of jackpot slots until an acquaintance explained the concept to me in simple terms. I’ll explain it to you the same way. A progressive jackpot social casino is a prize pool that keeps growing. A small portion of every spin made by all players on that specific slot machine is added to the total amount. The more people playing, the faster the jackpot grows, and the larger the potential payout becomes. When someone wins, the amount resets to its starting value and begins growing again. American Luck features several progressive jackpots from different providers, and you can clearly see the counter changing in real time. Winning is possible, though rare, because the jackpot is awarded randomly, regardless of how much you play. Have you checked out which slots are in that section yet?
