2000th Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Winner

We have a new jackpot record for 2002. A week a go we saw $189,433.44 won on Cryptologic's Rags To Riches, then today Kate S. managed to spin up a $327,382.67 jackpot at First Web Casino on Treasure Nile. The win was also a milestone for the Microgaming jackpot network - their 2,000th winner.

Kate had this to say in an exclusive interview with Marilyn Glazier from Jackpot Madness "I find online gambling relaxing and now profitable! I can't believe I won such a big jackpot and with this amount I will pay off some bills, take the family on a trip and maybe even buy that business I've been dreaming about!"

Treasure Nile was the first nine line slot machine to appear online. It has a fixed coin size of a half dollar and requires a max bet of nine coins ($4.50) to qualify for the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $40,000 and the average win is around the $70,000 mark.

When Cash Splash was launched in late 1998 it was an instant hit with players. Since then four more games have been added to the jackpot game line up, Treasure Nile, Fruit Fiesta, Wowpot and Lotsaloot. Since launch the games have paid out a staggering $55,000,000 worth of prizes.

An average of $3,000,000 is won each and every month by an average of 100 different players. Interestingly enough it seems that when your luck is in you should keep playing as almost a quarter of the 2,000 winners have won more than one jackpot. This includes Jean G who has hit eight times.

One of the main reasons for the large jackpots and frequent winners is the fact that the games are available at over 70 top rated casinos. This is what has separated Microgaming from other software providers. The strength of the jackpot network is growing daily and so are the prizes.

If you are lucky enough to hit a progressive while playing at a Microgaming casino you will be paid the entire amount in a single lump sum payment via wire transfer or check. All winners also receive a winners kit which includes a digital camera and a range of game related merchandise.
