Jackpot Race™
The next step
in progressives.

How a race plays out.
-
01
Accumulate
The prize pool builds from your configured RTP contribution (0-2%), starts from a fixed seed, or sits at a configurable fixed amount - your choice per race. A live ticker shows the current pool and the countdown to the race window.
-
02
Race
Countdown fires. The pool must be won inside the window: trigger probability rises every second. Players stay seated through the window because every spin can be the one. Peak engagement; nobody leaves.
-
03
Payout
Multiple winners are announced the moment the race resolves. Each paytable position receives the % you configured, paid as an instant in-game announcement. The pool resets and the next race begins building immediately.

Set up from Back Office, nothing to integrate.
Open Back Office, configure a race, go live. Copy one of the paytable strategies below, or build your own to any precision (decimals welcome).
1. Create
Back Office → Jackpots → Manage Jackpots. Name it, pick the base currency, save.
2. Fund
RTP contribution (0-2%) or a fixed amount, per market. The pool either grows from spins or sits at the value you set.
3. Schedule
Pick days, start times, and race duration. Daily at lunch, weekends at 8pm, one-offs, recurring - any combination.
4. Add games
Manage Linked Games - assign specific titles or the entire Habanero portfolio. Real-money bets only; bonus play excluded.
5. Set winners
Build the paytable: any split, any depth. Three big prizes for high drama, hundreds of micro-prizes for mass retention - anywhere from 3 to 500+ winners per race.
6. Go live
Tick Active. Players see the live ticker immediately. Auto-restart after each race, or pause manually between sessions.
Pick the pool model that suits the market.
Fixed seed + contribution
Pool starts at a configured amount, then grows from RTP contribution as players spin. Combines a known headline number with organic growth.
Configurable fixed amount
Fixed prize, no pool growth, no RTP contribution required. Perfect for sponsored races, brand campaigns, or guaranteed prize events.
