Progressives coming to Yggdrasil online casino licensees soon

Swedish online gambling software developer Yggdrasil Gaming has revealed plans to launch a new pooled progressive slot game titled “Joker Millions” before the end of February.

The company’s arithmetic on the project suggests that prizes could initially reach jackpot levels of around Euro 1.3 million, which has proved high enough to attract the participation of several online casino operators using the company’s games.

“Progressive jackpots are an excellent marketing tool for operators, but we didn’t want to make Joker Millions all about the jackpot,” said Yggdrasil CEO Fredrik Elmqvist in a media statement this week.

“Most online jackpot slots are low variance, if you remove the actual jackpot from the equation, but Joker Millions also has very exciting elements in the base game.

“While you are waiting for that jackpot spin there are also mystery joker wins that will take you closer and closer to the Joker Millions.”
