As a guy who likes to stay apart from the crowd, I hate to say it, but I love Jackpot Party…just like everyone else who has played the slots in the series.

Just so that you don’t think that I’ve jumped on any sort of bandwagon, I’ve been playing at US casinos that have Jackpot Party since the original came out — I think it was about fifteen years ago, but I could be wrong. I loved the “pooper” idea, and all of the sound and video feedback that it gave. Back then, it really stood out from the crowd…but of course when it became a big hit, suddenly a lot of other slots seemed to be doing the same thing.

Now, of course, there are about a zillion twists on the now-classic Jackpot Party theme. I can’t claim to have played them all, but the ones that I’ve really liked include Super Jackpot Party (in my opinion, the most over-the-top when it comes to bells and whistles) and Village People Party (yes, I’m a child of the 1970′s).

Jackpot Party Progressive is also very good, but remember that you’ll win a little less often in return for the chance of winning REALLY big. But my wife is certain that she wins more often than on most progressive slots.

The thing that attracts most people about Jackpot Party is the fun, stimulating theme — well, like a party. The thing that KEEPS people playing is the fact that it seems to win a bit more often, and for a bit more money, than all of the slots around it.
