How Multi-Tier Progressives Work
Games like Wolf Run Eclipse, Dragon Lights, Fortune Owl, and Regal Link feature multiple must-hit-by jackpots running simultaneously. Each tier has its own meter and ceiling. The combined EV of all tiers determines whether the overall play is profitable — sometimes a single high-value tier can carry the entire play, even if other tiers are near reset. Leave tier fields empty if fewer than four tiers exist.
