Just over a month since Oliver C won a record breaking $389,843.85
on Microgaming's Treasure Nile progressive and we have yet another
record. This time the title goes to the Rags To Riches progressive
from Cryptologic with a player with the moniker "BOBO" hitting
for US $414,119 at The Sands.
"Unbelievable, I couldn't and still don't believe it! I woke up my
wife and we sat for almost 12 hours as the machine counted off at
$600 per minute. People really do win on Internet casinos. Thank you
414,000 times!"
 Launched
in May of this year Rags To Riches is a Wheel of Fortune style progressive
slot with a starting jackpot of $100,000 - currently the highest base
level jackpot available online. The game comes in the dollar denomination
only and requires a $3 max bet to have a chance at winning the major
prize.
Unlike most slots the jackpot is not won on the reels. If you look
at the game (Pictured Above) you will see that above the reels is
a spinning wheel. One segment on this wheel is the "Jackpot" segment.
Hitting three Rags To Riches symbols on the reels activates the top
wheel. You can then win between $10 and the jackpot. Max bet must
be played to activate the wheel.
