There are two cyber-gamblers out there who are probably still celebrating following major hits on internet jackpots recently.
Microgaming‘s giant progressive slot Mega Moolah delivered a jackpot of over $2.7 million to one lucky punter on Monday – the fourth time in the past year this game has paid over $1 million. Microgaming progressives are among the few online that pay winners out in one big cash tranche.
Details are still awaited on the lucky winner and where the hit took place.
Mega Moolah regularly has jackpots that are over the $1 million mark, and Monday’s jackpot was for $2 767 608 – believed to be the biggest online jackpot so far this year. It has been six months since the last major hit on the game, where a player collected $1 242 587. Eleven months ago, the game created a new online gambling jackpot world record when a Finnish player won $6 374 434.
WinADay.com has just had its biggest progressive jackpot winner ever – a retired widower won $223 420 playing the new Reel De Luxe online slot machine.
“I’ve been living with my son since my wife passed away,” said the winner. “He was sitting right next to me when I hit the jackpot! Now I can do something really special for him.”
This is the eighth six-figure jackpot on WinADay progressives since launch. Although the jackpots have averaged about $150 000 there was a nearly $200 000 winner last Christmas.
Reel De Luxe is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot machine with a luxurious shopping theme, wild symbols, 2 special bonus features and a bonus game. Its “Present Bonus” feature awards up to 500x the bet and there’s also a special Cash Bonus Game with prizes up to $1500.
