Jackpot News - Two Big Winners on the Microgaming Network

Published : February 28th, 2008

If you have been following the Major Millions and King Cashalot progressive jackpots you would have noticed that they were both hit in late February. The winners took home a total of almost US$3,000,000. If you missed the jackpots there is still a huge $5,000,000+ on Mega Moola.

The first jackpot go was the King Cashalot which paid a big $946,886.05 to a player from Norway. Karin K managed to line up the five king symbols while playing the max bet of $2.25 to scoop the top prize. She was playing at the very popular 7 Sultans Casino which is part of the Fortune Lounge Group.

As the King Cashalot jackpot was won in US dollars the game did not reset to it's base level of $150,000. Due to the multi current progressive system the total prize only drops as far as the weakest currency which at this time is US Dollars. The jackpot now stands at just over $500,000.

The second jackpot was one a few days later at 32 Red Online Casino. This time Anne C from Scotland line up the five wild Major Millions logos to score a life changing £1,094,112.81 win. As this jackpot was won in Pounds the game has reset to the base level of $250,000. Anne had this to say about her win.

"I could hardly believe it. First of all I won £300 and then seconds later the 5 major millions symbols fell in to place. It goes to show that just one lucky spin and anyone can win a life changing amount of cash".

King Cashalot
A five reel, nine line game with a base jackpot of $150,000, King Cashalot has a max bet of $2.25 per spin. A second screen bonus is also featured.

Major Millions
There are three versions of Major Millions to choose from. A classic style 3 reel game, a 5 reel video slot and a MegaSpin version. All have a max bet of $3.

CEO of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever, says, "What a great start to the year. The progressive total is currently sitting at over £7m. We offer the best progressive network in the business and this only goes to prove it."
