MICROGAMING PROGRESSIVE - KING CASHALOT DELIVERS NEW YEAR’S EVE JACKPOT
Player sees in 2007 with $1,745,475 win
ISLE OF MAN - Microgaming, the world’s leading supplier of casino and poker software, announces its Progressive Jackpot Network has created another millionaire, after one lucky player scooped the jackpot on New Year’s Eve.
Playing through Captain Cooks Casino (captaincookscasino.com), the player won US$ 1,745,475.28 on the King Cashalot Progressive.
The player becomes the tenth millionaire created by the progressive network and ensures that Microgaming starts the New Year as it ended the last, on a high. In December the company announced that it had delivered on a promise to maintain the most aggressive roll out schedule in the industry, launching over 60 games in 2006.
The Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network has paid out over a record $220m since launch and looks set to create yet another millionaire soon – its newly launched Mega Moolah progressive is currently sitting at $1.1m.
Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, “We are delighted that the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network has kicked the New Year off in style for one lucky player and in the process created our tenth millionaire. Over the last twelve months we have delivered on a promise to maintain the most aggressive games roll out schedule on the web - averaging over four new games per month, but to cap this with a million dollar payout through King Cashalot on New Year’s Eve is really fantastic. The Microgaming Mega Moolah progressive is also sitting at over a million dollars, so this winner won’t be the only one starting the New Year in the millionaire club.”
