It looks like we will be seeing much bigger and more frequent jackpots
from Cryptologic powered casinos with the announcement today that
all of the jackpots will be linked. This follows the stunning rise
of the Microgaming linked progressives where in a little over 3 years
over $21,000,000 has been won.
Up until now all of the casinos
have run their progressive separately meaning that players looking
for the biggest jackpots had to move from casino to casino. Today
this has changed. All casinos now offer the same prizes with the current
values being combined to give the new jackpot totals. This means we
will be seeing some records being broken in the near future.
Currently there are four progressive games on offer two of which are
slots. These are the $1 and 25¢ version of Triple Olives and the Rags
to Riches dollar game with a starting prize of a industry high $100,000.
The other games are Super Jackpot video poker and Spice Island Poker
- a progressive version of the popular Caribbean Stud card game.
We have reviewed both of the slots and the quick details are listed
below. For full game details and information on where to play simply
