All Four Prosperity Link Jackpot Tiers — Mini, Minor, Major, Grand

Prosperity Link has four jackpot tiers built into every spin: Mini (up to 10× your bet), Minor (up to 25×), Major (up to 100×), and the Grand — a live progressive linked across multiple casinos that grows until someone claims it. Each tier can only be won during the Lock & Respin feature, so understanding how the bonus triggers is the foundation. If you're new to the mechanic, How to Play Prosperity Link — Mechanics, Reels & Bonuses is the right place to start.

How Are the Jackpot Tiers Structured?

IGT built Prosperity Link around a four-level jackpot ladder. The values scale with your wager, which means a higher bet raises the prize floor — though it does not improve your statistical odds of landing any individual tier.

Tier	Maximum Payout	How It Is Won
Mini	Up to 10× bet	Awarded randomly during Hold & Spin feature
Minor	Up to 25× bet	Awarded randomly during Hold & Spin feature
Major	Up to 100× bet	Awarded randomly during Hold & Spin feature
Grand	Progressive (no cap)	Fill all 15 reel positions with golden orbs during Hold & Spin

What Does It Take to Win the Grand Jackpot?

The Grand is the only tier with a defined condition: you must fill every one of the 15 reel positions with golden orb symbols during a single Hold & Spin sequence. That's a tall order. The feature starts with 3 respins, resetting each time a new orb lands — but covering all 15 spaces in one run is rare, which is exactly why the Grand pool keeps climbing.

Because the Grand is linked across multiple casino properties, it compounds faster than a standalone progressive. The larger it grows, the higher your effective return at that moment. I've covered exactly why that matters for the overall math in the guide on Why the Grand Progressive Jackpot Changes Prosperity Link's Effective RTP.

Can Bet Size Affect Which Tier You Hit?

Bet size scales the dollar value of the lower tiers — Mini and Minor pay multiples of your wager, so spinning at the maximum of 88.00 coins nets a larger absolute prize than spinning at 0.88 coins. The Grand jackpot pool is fixed by the linked network and paid regardless of bet size once the condition is met. No strategy changes the RNG outcome on any individual spin; that's simply how certified random-number generators work.

Taxes When a Jackpot Hits

Worth knowing before you spin at the top end: from January 1, 2026, any single slot win of $2,000 or more triggers a Form W-2G and potential 24% federal withholding applied at the machine. The casino will pause the game — sometimes for up to roughly 45 minutes — while staff verify your ID and process the paperwork. Two forms of ID, including one photo ID, are required. For the full picture, the Taxes on a Prosperity Link Jackpot Win page walks through withholding, reporting, and state-level considerations. Per IRS Instructions for Forms W-2G and 5754, all gambling winnings are gross income regardless of whether a form is issued.
