Latest on Microgaming Progressives

Progressive jackpots are the main reason that online players play slots games and the Microgaming range of progressive slots has always been popular. Apart from the quality of the games is the fact that most Microgaming casinos display the individual values of the current jackpots of the individual slots in their lobbies. This makes it very easy to track Microgaming progressive slots.

The most popular of the Microgaming slots today is Mega Moolah. The reason is easy to fathom. In the last year it recoreded hits of over $4 million and currently stands at over $4 million as well. In the space of about 20 days since the end of October it has jumped by $200K. It is close to being hit and therefore a hot favorite. But Mega Moolah will always be a favorite because it is reset to $1 million and therefore guaranteed the creation of a millionaire every time it is hit. 

There are reports that Roulette Royale has been hit. It was at just under a million dollars about a week ago and now the ticker is showing just over $200K. There is currently no news about who is the winner or even on which online casino the hit took place. Presumably the verification process is on and the news will be released shortly. The progressive jackpot on Roulette Royale has never been hit before therefore this will be an occasion for celebration. We will soon know who is the lucky online player whose lucky number had been called five times in a row.

King Cashalot has been growing steadily over the last 20 days. It has moved from $796K to $859K. Its biggest hit of $1.7 million came in December 2006. Since then it has given $1 million. King Cashalot is a progressive video slot with 5 reels and 9 paylines. It has the usual features of wilds, scatters, and a bonus game. However the reason for its popularity is that it does not require a large bet to be eligible for the progressive jackpot. 45 coins at only $0.05 per coins that amounts to $2.25 and if 5 Kings appear in the 9th payline then the jackpot is hit.

Another Microgaming progressive is making its presence felt, though much below the level of the other jackpots. This is Cyberstud Poker. The best it has yielded so far was $199K a little less than a year ago. Today it is already at $298K. That is probably why it is drawing traffic. The progressive jackpot is it when the player draws a royal flush.

These four games can be played at Microgaming online casinos.
