There's Money To Be Won

Landing a life-changing progressive jackpot is the online casino player’s equivalent of winning the top prize in a lottery game, but that doesn’t mean that it is a rare occurrence. On the contrary, progressive jackpots are won far more often than most people would assume, and the latest figures released by Microgaming testify to that fact, because the Microgaming progressive jackpot network has paid out more than €89 million in the first six months of 2019 alone!

How the Total Breaks Down

The exact amount of cash delivered by the progressive jackpot network between the beginning of January and the end of June was a staggering €89,879,343, and the total number of jackpots won was 1,150,559. Microgaming has said that 388 of those jackpot wins were worth €10,000 or more, and that eight of them were worth seven- or eight-figure sums which totalled over €43 million.

Notable Wins

The biggest jackpot of the year so far was won at the end of January, when one player won €13.32 million on Microgaming’s world-famous Mega Moolah game. That is the very same game that delivered the biggest-ever payout on the Microgaming progressive jackpot network last October, when a lucky slots player landed the colossal sum of €18.91 million.

Other notable successes in the first six months of this year included back-to-back jackpot wins on Tuesday 5 March and Wednesday 6 March, when players won prizes of over €11.54 million and €2.20 million, respectively. As far as more recent wins are concerned, jackpots of over €5.43 million, €5.67 million and €3.03 million were won on Friday 3 May, Thursday 23 May and Monday 17 June.

With More to Come…

All of these life-changing jackpots were paid as lump-sums to their respective winners, which is always the case when someone lands a top prize on the Microgaming progressive jackpot network, and the company is now looking forward to creating many more big winners over the next six months.

‘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,’ said John Coleman, who is CEO at Microgaming. ‘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.’
