Microgaming Progressives Pay Out Over $20,000,000

Online progressives are really starting to catch up with their land-based counterparts. Since the launch of the first linked jackpots by Microgaming in 1998 the total amount of jackpots won by players have now exceeded US $20,000,000 and the jackpots keep getting bigger.

Currently there are five games that make up the Microgaming jackpot network. The oldest and still most popular game is Cash Splash. With three reels, a single pay line and a fixed coin size of $1 the game offers a starting jackpot of $5,000. Cash Splash alone has paid out $16,750,164 since its launch.

New games were added in April and August of 2000. These games include three new slot machines and one progressive video poker machine. They are Wowpot, Lotsaloot, Fruit Fiesta and Superjax. All four games were instant hits with players and all have paid out big jackpots.

Yesterday, January 24th set a record for the most jackpot won in a single day with eight players striking it rich on the five games. So far the average jackpot size won is just over $65,000 and the record jackpot win is $171,893. Clearly with the popularity of the games growing at a rapid rate we are sure to see these records being broken many times in the coming months.
