Housie Jackpots

Housie jackpots can be anything from growing jackpots to fixed games.

Cash Housie Jackpots

Cash Housie jackpots are special games that are often played as charity games.

Here is how these Housie jackpots work:

  • Cash Housie games have cash prize jackpots as the name implies. These range from £100 to over £1,000 depending on the number of players in the game.
  • The prize for these Housie jackpots is taken from ticket sales for these specific games, which is then presented to the chosen charity in its full amount.
  • Some Housie halls have a similar concept called Cookie Jar Jackpots or Cash Jar Jackpots. These work in the same way, except that players put their ticket money into the jar, which is then kept at the front of the hall.

Fixed Jackpots

Fixed jackpots are guaranteed games that have a set prize.

Here is some more info on guaranteed games:

  • Fixed pots are funded partly by the ticket purchase and the operators also fund the Housie jackpot.
  • Ticket prices for these games are usually set at a higher price.
  • In online Housie, there is usually at least one fixed jackpot game per day, sometimes more.
  • Some online games may set a limit on the number of tickets players can buy for the fixed jackpot game.

Progressive Jackpots

Progressive Jackpots, also called PJPs are Housie jackpots that get bigger until they have been won.

Learn more about how PJPs work:

  • The PJP grows daily, weekly, or monthly if it is not won in a specific number of calls.
  • If there is no winner in the set number of calls, consolation prizes of lesser values will be paid to the player who wins Housie.
  • Different types of progressive games add prize value or numbers, or both, to the PJP.
  • There is usually a separate ticket buy-in for PJP games.
  • PJP ticket prices are usually higher than other games or Housie jackpots.
