There are several manufacturers who offer multiple jackpots on their games, "eg. Bronze, Silver, Platinum, Gold" -- "Mini" "Maxi" etc.

The older style games by companies like IGT used to make you play maximum bet to qualify for the progressive. In recent years ... this has changed. WMS Gaming makes a series of games based on "Life of Luxury" and "Jackpot Party". Once in the bonus round, finding the BONUS symbol will advance you to a crack at the next level of jackpot. The higher the triggering line bet, the more "BONUS" symbols there are, and the greater the chance of progressing to the next level of jackpot.

Therefore, with a minimum bet, it is possible to win the big jackpot ... however, the lower the bet, the more the odds of winning the big money are stacked against you.
