Forecasts for the largest payments of the year
Introduction
Each year, the largest progressive jackpot networks pay tens and hundreds of millions combined. However, events are unevenly distributed: there are "hot" seasons, new games with double the pool and periodic auctions of bets. This material contains clear forecasts for 2025, based on quantitative analysis of pools, dynamics of rates and the launch of promising new products.
1. Leaders in pools and drop frequency
Key findings:
2. Seasonal factors
1. Summer peak (June-August)
- Increased tourist traffic and sports broadcasts increase bets on progressives by 20-25%, the pool is growing faster than usual.
2. Black Friday and New Year's holidays
- Discount promos and deposit bonuses stimulate players to "catch up" with old pools and form a surge in savings in October-December.
3. Spring recession (March-April)
- After tax payments in the ODS countries, turnover is slightly reduced - a good time to enter low-level pools with reduced competition.
3. Novelties of 2025 and their potential
These new items are already in the top five in terms of the growth rate of pools:
4. Mathematical evaluations
1. Accumulation model
$$
\ text {Pool} (t) = P_0 + rimes t,
$$
where $ r $ is the growth rate (per minute/hour), calculated from the average rate and deductions.
2. Drop probability
$$
P_{ext{Grand}}(t) \approx 1 - \exp\bigl(-\lambda t\bigr),
$$
where $\lambda $ is the intensity of Grand triggers (drops) per unit time.
3. Forecast for the year
For Mega Moolah $\lambda\approx 3/365\approx 0 {,} $0082, the probability of at least one Grand is> 95%.
For Mega Fortune $\lambda\approach 4/365\approach 0 {,} $011, similar confidence.
5. Hunting recommendations
1. Follow pools through trackers
- SlotsCalendar, ProgressiveJackpots and casino built-in indicators.
2. Optimal login time
- 10-20% before the expected trigger threshold or an hour before the regular drop (for Hourly/Daily).
3. Bankroll and betting
- The rate of 0.5-1% of the bankroll for participation in the pool preserves the number of "tickets" without "burning" the deposit.
4. Diversification
- Simultaneous entry into 2-3 different progressive networks increases the chance of a drop within a given budget.
Conclusion
2025 promises record payments in the largest networks - Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune and new items like Treasure Titan WowPot. Seasonal peaks, hour drops and Must Drop mechanics form favorable jackpot hunting "windows." Use quantitative models, pool trackers and strict bankroll management - and you have every chance of being among the lucky ones to snatch the biggest prize of the year.

1. Leaders in pools and drop frequency
| Network | Provider | Expected Pool Size by End of Year | Grand Drop Frequency Forecast |
|---|---|---|---|
| --------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------: | --------------------------: |
| Mega Moolah | Microgaming | $45-50 million | 2-3 times |
| Mega Fortune | NetEnt | €30-35 million | 3-4 times |
| WowPot | Play 'n GO | €20-25 million | 4-5 times |
| Age of the Gods | Playtech | $15-18 million | 5-6 times |
| Jackpot King | Blueprint | £10-12m | 6-8 times |
Key findings:
- Mega Moolah traditionally forms the largest pool due to its low entry rate and wide network of partners.
- Mega Fortune and WowPot keep drop rates high through relatively small but regular Major/Mini payouts.
- Age of the Gods is best at shooting Minor/Minor +, giving a lot of payouts around $100,000- $500,000.

3. Novelties of 2025 and their potential
| Game | Provider | Drop Network | Deduction | Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ------------------------------ | -------------- | ------------ | ---------: | --------------------------------- |
| Treasure Titan WowPot | Play 'n GO | WowPot | 0.2% | Bonus Multiplier × 10,000 |
| Mega Rocket Drop | Red Tiger | Mega Drops | 0.15% | Hourly Drops every 60 minutes |
| Fortune Fruits Must Drop | Pragmatic Play | Must Drop | 0.3% | Guaranteed Drop ≤ 480 Spins |
| Divine Temple Jackpot King | Blueprint | Jackpot King | 0.25% | Crown counter 15 pieces |
| Pharaoh's Bounty | Yggdrasil | Mega Drops | 0.1% | Progressive with two Grand levels |
These new items are already in the top five in terms of the growth rate of pools:
- Treasure Titan WowPot - thanks to multipliers in the freespins, the pool can "explode" locally.
- Mega Rocket Drop - hour drops are evenly distributed, 8-10 Grand payments per year are predicted.
