Microgaming's Major Millions Starts New Era In Online Gaming

Published : 18th of April, 2002

The online jackpot world has been changed forever today with the launch of the Major Millions slot from Microgaming. Up until now the highest starting jackpot on a progressive has been $100,000. Major Millions raises the bar to a massive $250,000 and that's just the base level prize.

The game (Pictured Above) is a three reel, three line slot with a three coin maximum bet. It has a fixed $1 coin size so you are looking at $3 per spin to win the jackpot. Interestingly enough this is exactly the same bet required on Cash Splash - Microgaming's most popular game.

To celebrate the launch of the new game, Microgaming have offered an additional prize to the first player who wins a jackpot that is over $1,000,000. They will in additional to a one off cash payment of the jackpot receive an all expenses paid trip to Monte Carlo. This includes first class air tickets from anywhere in the world and four nights at Hotel Hermitage, the most exclusive hotel in Monte Carlo. A great way to start life as a millionaire.

Where To Play
The game is currently being rolled out to all 70 of the casinos that use Microgaming software via their MUP+ (Microgaming Upgrade Protocol) system. This means if you have an account at one of the casinos the game should automatically download the next time you log in.
