A slice of each wager is routed to the jackpot pool instead of the game’s ordinary returns. A networked pool is fed by far more players and so grows faster, whereas a local pool belongs to a single operator. Nobody is owed the advertised figure; it is simply how big the pool is right now.
The common misreading
People sometimes take a large jackpot to mean better odds. Typically only the prize has grown, with the chance of triggering it unchanged. For the same reason a scatter is never overdue, a pool that has sat for months without paying is not overdue either.
No operator funds a progressive pool as a separate prize, and it is not kept back for whoever has played the longest. What it holds is player money, already wagered, pooled and kept until a trigger condition is met.
Using it in practice
Part of the return moves into the pool, which is why progressive games often carry a lower base-game RTP than non-progressive ones. A maximum stake is sometimes the price of qualifying at all, so a smaller stake gets you a strictly worse version of the game.
Across the game pages here, terms such as Progressive jackpot keep turning up; if a studio leaves out the number behind one, the page states that gap rather than borrowing a figure from a comparison site. It explains why you will see empty cells in more than one spec table on this site.
A worked example
A game advertising 96% RTP may return 95% via ordinary play and 1% via a jackpot almost nobody wins, if 1% of every stake feeds the pool. The jackpot component reaches only the one player who triggers it, so most players actually get the lower figure as their effective return.

FAQ
Is Progressive jackpot within a casino's power to change?
Not on this site's evidence. Any progressive jackpot value that the game's own mathematics fixes is the studio's property instead of the operator's, and if the studio does not publish it, no outside source can confirm it either.
