Microgaming Expects Jackpots to Get Bigger With Mobile Access

January 25, 2014

In 2013 there have been two very significant jackpot wins for customers who have played Microgaming's Mega Moolah progressive game, and one of those happened to be the largest single win for anyone ever gambling on a mobile device (albeit in a very short history).

But you know, that is not the end of the story when it comes to satisfied customers and big winners for Mega Moolah and other games that have been developed by Microgaming. It is quite amazing when you hear the numbers for that very popular progressive, however. According to Neill Whyte, who is the head of product channels at Microgaming and one of the people who leads this effort, there's been a total of €171 million paid out from the Mega Moolah slot on mobile devices ALONE, which is quite astonishing. That converts to a little less than CA$250 million, which is something that should interest the Canadian audience to a lot more than just a casual extent.

The great news, as Whyte confirms, is that the number is only going to get bigger, as more and more people adapt Microgaming casinos to their own mobile devices. With more people playing, jackpots will only naturally grow in size. As Whyte also says, “Two mega mobile jackpot wins on our HTML5 client in just four months truly indicates the growth of mobile gaming."

How does all this winning become possible? Well, it's because Microgaming happens to run the most extensive progressive jackpot network on the planet earth. It involves linking up all the Microgaming client casinos, so that money from all of them is pooled into a huge jackpot. Customers get to watch the progress of all these jackpots on the member sites, and then they get to "wade in," as it were.

Welcome to the future, and to the company that is leading mobile casino enthusiasts into it.
