uses fixed 1,000x jackpot rather than progressive. Progressive systems take small percentage of each bet to fund growing jackpot, reducing base game RTP. In Chicken Plinko, the full 96% RTP is distributed across fixed multipliers including the 1,000x max. Progressives in instant games are rare because fast pace would balloon jackpots unsustainably or require micro-contributions that annoy players. Fixed jackpots maintain consistent 77.27% hit rate and predictable volatility. The tradeoff: you can't win life-changing millions like progressive slots, but base experience isn't diluted. For most players, frequent medium wins (96% RTP, high hit rate) beats chasing 0.0001% progressive chances!
