Mega Progressive Online Jackpot Hit But Winner Unknown

April 12, 2016

The Mega Progressive jackpot of the Mega Moolah network has been hit for 10,423,233 credits three days ago. There is no official news from Microgaming because the verification process would be underway. So we do not know which player in which country and which online casino recorded the hit. But the Mega Progressive jackpot ticker fell simultaneously across all networked online slot games to just under 5 million. It did not reset to its customary value of 1 million.

Such an intriguing event had occurred in April last year, when the Canadian player Mark A had hit this progressive jackpot at Royal Vegas online casino. Mark had won CA$7.5 million and the jackpot was reset to 3.5 million. Microgaming had then given the following explanation. Since Mark was wagering in Canadian dollars when he hit the Mega Progressive jackpot he was paid CA$7.5 million. If the winner had been a player from Britain and had been wagering in British pounds then Microgaming would have had to pay £7.5 million. Therefore Microgaming added the amount that it had saved to the reset value of 1 million. Something similar seems to have happened this time as well. Maybe this winner is from Canada again and Microgaming has loaded its saving to the jackpot reset amount giving players at its online casinos the benefit. At the time of writing the Mega Progressive jackpot was ticking at 5.06 million.

The Mega Progressive is still the largest jackpot in the progressive pool at Microgaming powered Canadian online casinos. It can be hit from any of the following online slots: Mega Moolah, Isis, Five Reel Drive, Summertime and The Dark Knight. The next highest is King Cashalot, which is at 794,358 credits. It is a slow moving jackpot that was last hit over two and a half years ago. But it is well above the average mark and so hopefully it will hit soon. Major Millions is at 275,797 credits. If you are interested in casino poker games then Cyberstud Poker and Poker Ride have progressive jackpots at attractive levels.

The Fortune Lounge group online casinos are excellent Microgaming powered sites where you can play these progressive jackpots. They are all fully licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority and have also been declared as Safe and Fair by eCOGRA. The online casinos most popular with Canadian players are Platinum Play, Royal Vegas and 7 Sultans.
