Hittin' It Huge
Progressive slots are just pumping out the winnings to the online casino
gamblers all over the world. The latest progressive win has a gambler from an
as-yet unidentified location hitting one of the Playtech progressive jackpots.
Playtech is a software development company for the internet gambling industry
and has one of the fastest growing portfolio of games at any of the online
casinos. Other software providers offer progressive gaming opportunities but
Playtech is one of only a handful of gaming developers with a large
international network of gamblers all feeding into the same progressive jackpot
– more gamblers means the jackpots grow into the multiple millions quickly.
The latest Playtech progressive to payout is the Gold Rally slots game – the
lucky winner is taking home more than $1.7 million in winnings. There is very
little yet released about the gambler who won – the player uses the screen name
TengB and the win occurred at the Mansion online casino gambling site. The win
occurred on August 28, 2008 and represents just one of more than a dozen
progressive wins each month. Gamblers at online casinos all over the world flock
to the sites to participate in not only the creatively themed games – Gold Rally
has a Wild West theme and unique bonus rounds – but for the chance to win huge
sums of cash.
The highest progressive win in the history of the online casino gambling
industry occurred several months ago at a Microgaming progressive – the player
won upwards of $5 million. Wins like that and like the recent win are a huge
marketing plus for the internet casinos looking to draw in the gamblers with a
free advertising opportunity – it proves that some individuals do walk away from
the slots as winners. |
