World-renowned platform provider and software developer, Microgaming, is revered for their progressive jackpot network that has so far, in the first half of 2019, paid out €89,879,343 on a total of 1,150,559 jackpots!
During this period alone, eight fortunate players nabbed seven and eight-figure jackpots, which accounted for over €43 million in wins, while €10,000 and over was additionally won by 380 players.
The largest win of the year thus far...
...is the one scooped by a Zodiac Casino punter early on in 2019 – on January 30th. The colossal win of €13,328,028.16 is also the third biggest win in Microgaming's history. The players managed to score this amount playing Mega Moolah – a legendary five-reel, 25-payline online slot with wild Africa as its central theme.
A particularly interesting piece of history was created in two consecutive days...
...when this millionaire-making network produced as many affluent individuals – first, with a €11,546,388 prize on March 5th and then a €2,201,120 jackpot the following day! Some more recent wins include €5,430,849 on May 3rd, €5,673,937 on May 23rd and €3,034,204,84 on June 17th.
Comments Microgaming CEO, John Coleman:
“2019 is gearing up to be a great year for Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network, with total lifetime payouts fast approaching the €1.1 billion mark. Congratulations to all winning players on the network, which remains the largest in the industry and features the record-breaking Mega Moolah progressive slot. We look forward to hosting more life-changing wins in the second half of the year.”
On September 28th last year, at Grand Mondial Casino...
...the biggest progressive jackpot to date has been paid out on the developer’s network. €18,915,872.81 jackpot was hit by a punter on Mega Moolah, which eclipsed the previous mobile win of €17,879,645.12 from 2015, setting the new “Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game” title in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In total, 74 millionaires have been made on this network as of Sunday, June 30th 2019.
Independent studio, Rabcat, has teamed up with the Isle of Man-based leviathan for the release of latest summer blockbuster slot – Sherlock of London.
The 3x5 game with 25 ways to win promises “heightened action in both base game and free spins.” The title is equipped with wilds, double wins and staple features such as re-spins all set in fog-filled atmosphere akin to stories of the famous detective by Arthur Conan Doyle.
In late June, the company's selection of popular games went live with Alderney-licensed BGO Entertainment.
Brands such as Chilli, PowerSpins, VegasLuck and BGO.com will be obtaining an extensive selection of Microgaming games.
BGO's very own Andy Dymock remarked:
“Expanding our offering to include Microgaming’s impressive portfolio of content demonstrates our commitment to providing our players with the greatest gaming experiences across our multiple skins. We are always looking to add top new content and are pleased to partner with such a reputable supplier of casino games which we know will resonate well with the BGO database.”
