Microgaming Slot Jackpots Keep Breaking Records

A $53,776 win on Lotsaloot by lucky winner Lucille M on May 18th has pushed the total jackpots awarded by Microgaming progressives to over $30,000,000. Lucille's win is the 61st jackpot to be won that is over the $50,000 mark and is sure to not be the last as progressive mania sweeps the Internet.

With so many players vying for the same jackpots it is interesting to see that some players are hitting big more than once. These winners include Jean G who has won a total of $305,163.73 with six jackpots on the Lotsaloot game - a current world record for the most jackpots won.

Other multiple winners include Blake R who has lined up the jackpot symbols on Cash Splash three times for a total of $272,957.56 and Debbie R who has hit on three of the five games for a big $271,263.24 in winnings. If Lucille keeps playing we may well see her on this list in the coming weeks.

Microgaming is clearly leading the charge with an average of over $2,500,000 being awarded to an average of 100 players per month. The most popular game is still the original Cash Splash which account for 50% of the winners and $1,500,000 of the jackpots. In total there are four progressive games available at Microgaming casinos.

These games are Cash Splash, Fruit Fiesta, Lotsaloot and Wowpot. All four games are three reel slots. They have a range of pay line configurations going from single to five line and all have a max bet of $3 or less. Considering that the jackpots are hitting more and more frequently over $50,000 they all offer a great bet to win ratio.

All of the jackpots are linked in each casino. This means that no matter which casinos you choose to play at you will have the same jackpots to play for. This linked jackpot system uses the same principal as the IGT Megajackpots system. By making games available at multiple casinos the jackpots grow faster, get bigger and hit more frequently - all good things for players.

Rumor has it that several new games will be added to the progressive range in the coming months. This includes the Internet's first five reel, nine line game. Stay tuned for more information about the new games.
